    • 07. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
      • Single-use plastic cups were observed being stored in flour and used as scoops. These items are not designed for repeated use in food and pose a risk of contamination and potential physical hazards (e.g., broken plastic fragments). The cups were discarded during the inspection.- Use only food-grade, durable scoops designed for repeated use when handling food. Store scoops in a clean, protected manner to prevent contamination (e.g., with handles extended out of the food or in a designated clean container). Do not use single-use items as scooping utensils.
    • 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
      • Dry food items, such as rice and flour, were observed being stored in open and unprotected bags, increasing the risk of contamination and pest attraction.- Store all dry food products in durable, rodent-proof containers with tight-fitting lids when not in use. Ensure containers are kept clean, properly sealed, and elevated off the floor to prevent contamination and reduce the risk of pest infestation. This is corrected during inspection.
    • 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
      • No paper towels were supplied at the handwashing station in the meat department, and the paper towel dispenser is missing. This prevents proper hand drying and compromises effective hand hygiene.Corrective Requirements:Provide a supply of paper towels at the handwashing station; Reinstall a paper towel dispenser. Ensure the station is fully equipped and maintained for proper handwashing at all times.
    • 13. Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) accessible to food handlers, located in suitable areas, and stocked with appropriate hand washing supplies?
      • The water temperature at the knee-operated handwashing sink located near the main dishwashing line was measured at 54 °C shortly after activation. This temperature exceeds a safe range for handwashing, making the sink unsuitable for use and posing a risk of scalding to users.Corrective Action Required:Adjust the handwashing sink water temperature to a safe and usable range (recommended 36–46 °C). Ensure mixing valves are properly calibrated and functioning to provide consistent, safe water temperatures.
    • 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
      • The mechanical ventilation hood was not effectively capturing and removing smoke generated from the gas charbroiler during cooking process. As a result, visible smoke accumulation was observed throughout the main kitchen and dishwashing area, indicating inadequate ventilation performance.Corrective Action Required:Ensure the ventilation hood system is capable of properly capturing and exhausting smoke and cooking by-products. Have a qualified technician inspect, service, and repair the ventilation system as needed to restore proper function. Maintain the system in good working order, including regular cleaning of filters and ducts. Cooking equipment that produces smoke must not be operated until adequate ventilation is confirmed. Alternative cooking method should be used to reduce the smoke production in the kitchen. - The operator advised staff to stop cooking with the charbroiler during inspection.
