   • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
     • Observation(s): Two buckets of quaternary ammonia sanitizing solution were observed to be at 50 ppm and 100 ppm. As per the manufacturer's instructions, the sanitizing solution must be at 200 ppm to ensure adequate sanitizing action for proper food safety. Staff refilled the sanitizer buckets at time of inspection. The concentration of the new sanitizing solution was observed to be 200 ppm. Staff wiped down affected food contact surfaces with the new sanitizing solution at time of inspection. The low temperature mechanical dishwasher was not dispensing chlorine at time of inspection. As the dishwasher is unable to reach sanitizing temperatures, chemical sanitizer must be dispensed to ensure adequate sanitizing action to ensure proper food safety. Due to the fact that water and detergent was still being dispensed in the mechanical dishwasher, the operator was informed that they could continue using the dishwasher for washing and rinsing, but must use the three compartment sink for sanitizing dishes and equipment until the dishwasher is fixed. The operator contacted a maintenance person at time of inspection and was told to contact the EHO once the dishwasher is fixed.
     • F2.3A Mechanical dishwasher/glasswasher must provide sufficient washing and sanitizing action to remove contamination.
     • F2.3D Sanitizer solution must be available and kept at the correct levels for adequate sanitizing action.
