- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- No - new garbage bags were being used for storage of food products (i.e. dough, bread, etc.) in the walk-in cooler. Note that garbage bags are not designed for food product storage, as they are sprayed with a chemical for odour control on their inside lining, which can leach onto food products through direct contact. Operator and staff are to use other dedicated food-grade type bags for all food storage. Also, regarding dry food storage, there were circular bowls being used as utensils/scoops, which were partially immersed in the dry food storage containers. Operator was advised to only choose utensils/scoops with 'handles' that are specifically designed for dry food storage (and ensure labels on utensils/scoops are removed during washing prior to using).

- No - there was a lack of paper towels at one of the three main kitchen hand-wash sinks, and as well at the hand-wash sink in the adjacent staff washroom. Also, the cold water faucet was in disrepair and not functional (as it seems the screw or washer is broken). Operator to ensure all hand-wash sinks are operational and that staff re-supply each hand-wash sink as necessary, and to keep supplies of liquid soap and paper towels constant.
