    5 infractions

    • Critical Improper Cleaning, Sanitizing of Equipment and Utensils
      • Multiple deli containers were improperly air dried with water droplets trapped in between. In the instance where the equipment is not ware washed properly, moisture could be conducive to the growth of pathogens.
      • Staff manually air dried each container. Send area EHO an update the facility's method for air drying moving forward.
    • Critical Improper Cleaning, Sanitizing of Equipment and Utensils
      • Bar glass washer is dispensing sanitizer that exceeds 25ppm iodine. This is greater than the required range of 12.5-25ppm which poses chemical contamination risk.
      • Staff scheduled the unit for repair. Do not use the iodine glasswasher until after follow-up with area EHO. Use the back-end dishwasher in the meantime. Take the following actions: 1. Contact area EHO to schedule a follow-up. 2. Establish a daily sanitation log to regularly check the concentration for iodine sanitizer. Can utilize the Island Health sanitizer log template (sent via email).
    • Food Not Protected - General
      • Three containers of opened canned products (tomato paste, coconut milk, chipotle peppers) were stored in the walk-in cooler. Opened canned products can rust and cause the leaching of metals into foods via oxidation.
      • Staff discarded all opened can products.
    • Food Not Protected - General
      • Ice machine had black accumulation along its dispensing line. This can cross contaminate the ice that's ready to eat.
