Observation: There was no sanitizing solution readily available for storing wiping cloths used to clean food contact surfaces.
Corrective Action: A minimum of 3 buckets of prepared sanitizing solution must be available at all times. This was corrected during inspection, staff prepared a bucket of solution which tested 100ppm chlorine. Ensure that fresh solutions are made at the beginning of each day and as many times as needed throughout the day to ensure that they are always at the correct concentration.

Observation: Temperature logs were last filled out in January.
Corrective Action: Resume monitoring refrigeration and freezer temperatures and record at least twice daily.
110   Repeat Food Not Protected - General
Observation: Many of the foods in the walk in cooler and line cooler were not covered or dated.
Corrective Action: All containers of foods must be covered at all times and dated.
110   Repeat Food Not Protected - General
Observation: Raw meats were observed stored above ready to eat foods both in the walk-in cooler and the line cooler.
Corrective Action: In order to prevent cross contamination, always store raw meats on the bottom shelves, cooked meats on middle shelves and fresh produce, breads, spices and other ready-to-eat foods on top shelves.
112   Repeat Poor Sanitary Design, Construction, Installation of Equipment & Utensils
Observation: General cleaning has deteriorated since the last inspection.
Corrective Action: As part of this facility's sanitation plan, the kitchen and food storage areas require a more thorough cleaning on a more consistent basis. This includes inside refrigerators, refrigerator doors and handles, walls and shelves in the walk-in cooler and shelves in the dry storage area.
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: The walk-in cooler condenser has a build up of ice on the bottom which is dripping into a metal baking sheet located on the top shelf of the food racks.
Corrective Action: Condenser water presents a risk of contamination for foods stored below. Have the unit serviced and in the mean time, do not store any foods directly under the section of the condenser where melting ice is dripping. Also, a deeper catch basin must be used to collect the water as the pan is difficult to move/empty without spilling.
116   Repeat Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: One of the fluorescent lights in the kitchen did not have any protective sheathes.
Corrective Action: Ensure that bulbs are fitted with protective sheathes.
