- F1.7 Are foods protected from contamination?
- Observation(s): Large cuts of wrapped/packaged beef was observed stored against packages of ready to eat (RTE) food (cheese, bread, etc) inside the one freezer. Although this beef was in a frozen state, beef arrives unfrozen and packages can leak. Please store raw animal proteins below and adequately separated from RTE food inside refrigerators and freezers. Please discontinue use of single use pop/water bottles as cooling wands and ensure that cooling wands are stored protected from possible contamination inside freezers. Please also ensure that bread is stored protected (ie. wrapped or within a container) within freezers and not stored directly on top of other packaged food and/or against the inside of the freezer itself (these surfaces may not be sanitary).

- Observation(s): Observed pre-cooked brisket thawing in running water at the back sink measured at a temperature of 17deg.C.

Please ensure that pre-cooked brisket (and other ready to eat (RTE) potentially hazardous food (PHF) &/or food that will not receive a cook step following thawing), are preferentially thawed under refrigeration at 4deg.C or less. Please also ensure that thawing of food under cool running water where necessary does not exceed 10deg.C per the Canadian Retail and Food Services Code and that thawing of food using this method is cooked immediately following the thawing step.
