- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- No - in main kitchen, there were two opened tin cans of food products being stored inside refrigeration units. Note that once opened, tin cans are to be discarded and only food-grade plastic, glass, or stainless steel containers are to be used for all overnight food product storage. Tin cans are to be discarded after opened due to corrosion effects (as tin cans are not intended for food storage after being opened). Also, staff workers are to avoid using any garbage bags (even if new) for food storage or covering (such as of bread/dough), as garbage bags are not a food-grade plastic, as they are sprayed with odour-control chemicals and are not intended for use as food storage or food coverings.
- 16. Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
- No - there was evidence of rodent (mouse) activity in the rear mechanical room, with twenty droppings (20+) observed along the baseboards and a possible rodent-entry point (hole/opening) in the far left corner. The operator is to wash and sanitize the floor sections in this room, and to seal/plug the corner hole using steel wool as well. The operator is to advise the pest control company of the rodent activity in this room for their awareness as part of their regular service/treatment.

- 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
- -No sanitizer solution was prepared on-site while food preparation was in progress. Staff confirmed that chlorine was available on the premises.-A chlorine-based sanitizer solution with a minimum concentration of 100 ppm must be prepared and readily available during all food preparation activities for effective surface sanitizing.
- 12. Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- Chlorine test strips for verifying surface sanitizer concentration could not be located at the time of inspection.-Chlorine test strips must be available on-site at all times to verify that the sanitizer solution meets the required minimum concentration of 100 ppm.Note: The facility uses a high-temperature commercial dishwasher. The final rinse water temperature was measured at 82°C (180°F), meeting sanitation requirements for dishwashing.
- 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
- -The hand-wash sink in the main kitchen was obstructed with a large bowl of frozen chicken and four large packaged smoked hams placed on and in front of the sink, making it inaccessible for proper hand hygiene.-Hand-wash sinks must remain fully accessible and functional at all times, with hot and cold running water, liquid soap, and paper towels available.
- 22. Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?
- a. Mold growth was observed inside the ice-making machine at the bar counter. Mold buildup was present on both interior side walls and the top interior surface of the unit.-The ice machine must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to remove all visible mold. Regular cleaning and maintenance should be conducted to prevent mold buildup and ensure the machine remains in a sanitary condition.b.Ceramic cups were found stored inside two sugar bins in the dough mixing room. The cups were encrusted with sugar buildup, and their handles were in direct contact with the food.The ceramic cups must be sent for thorough washing and stored outside the bins to prevent handles from touching the food. Alternatively, replace them with proper scoops that have longer handles and store them upright to maintain food safety.
