   • F1.3 Are proper cooling and reheating procedures followed?
     • Observation(s): Observed approx. 8L of chicken noodle soup being portioned and repackaged onsite at a temperature of 24deg.C. This soup had been made in Vernon sometime in the morning according to the operator (approx. 3hours earlier) and had been transported to Kelowna without prior cooling to 4deg.C. Accordingly, cooling of this advance prepared manufactured menu item did not occur per the national cooling standard as outlined in the Home for Dinner Food Safety Plan (ie. cooling from 60 to 20deg.C was exceeded). In additional approx. 8L of chicken pot pie filling was observed left on the counter with the lid on at a temperature of 32deg.C also awaiting portioning into smaller containers. This also arrived from the Vernon manufacturing facility without prior cooling to 4deg.C and accordingly, cooling of this advance prepared manufactured menu item did not occur per the national cooling standard as outlined in the Home for Dinner Food Safety Plan (ie. cooling from 60 to 20deg.C was exceeded). Please confirm corrective actions that will ensure cooling of advance prepared food to within the cooling standard. Where products will be brought to the Kelowna location for repackaging, cooling, etc., additional procedures will need to be implemented to ensure compliance with cooling standards. This may include time stamping, cooling logs, etc.
   • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
     • Observation(s): Please provide industry standard thermometers inside all freezers for daily temperature monitoring. Please confirm that the empty sanitizer bottle (ie. chlorine bleach) has been replenished in order to enable proper warewashing (ie. wash-rinse-sanitize).
