- 08. Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
- Observation: The ladle stored in ice water to scoop the food from the slow cooker and food items were stored in a covered slow cooker beside the dedicated hand washing station.Corrective Action: Staff moved the container and the ladle to a separate location.Recommendation: There is a potential for contamination through water splashing during handwashing. Since the ladle was left uncovered, the risk of contamination is greater compared to the food in the slow cooker. Therefore, do not store any raw or cooked food, including utensils, near the hand washing station to protect the food from contamination.

Staff were advised to install a dedicated thermometer in the front prep cooler. Until then, regularly check the temperature of the front prep cooler using another thermometer available onsite and maintain a record.Recommendation: Most pathogenic microorganisms grow between 4°C to 60°C.
