- 11. Are there adequate and properly operating dish washing facilities to effectively clean and sanitize equipment and utensils (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?
- The final rinse temperature gauge on the high temperature mechanical dishwasher was unable to reach the required minimum temperature of 82 Degrees C. Sanitizing temperature at plate level was measured at 67 degrees C using PHI's thermometer indicating unsatisfactory sanitization. A temperature of 71 degrees C or greater at plate level indicates satisfactory sanitization. As a temporary measure, staff can use the dishwasher to wash dishes however, PHI advised that a sanitization step must be done in the 2-compartment sink (manual method) to properly sanitize them. **Update (March 24, 2025): Operator confirmed that a new high temperature dishwasher has been ordered by the building owner and will be arriving in April 2025 and provided PHI with a copy of the new dishwasher model and specifications during the re-inspection. Operator verbally stated they would notify PHI when the new dishwasher arrives.**Update (May 13, 2025): New dishwasher still has not been installed due to delays caused by extenuating circumstances. The building owner is still in progress of obtaining a new dishwasher. Operator and kitchen staff are continuing to utilize the old dishwasher by monitoring the final sanitization temperature and completing a sanitization step (immersion in bleach solution) in the two-compartment sink for reusable kitchen cooking equipment after they are washed in the dishwasher. Kitchen is only providing single use disposable customer utensils in lieu of installation of the new dishwasher.Long-term measure: The dishwasher must be serviced/maintained or replaced to ensure it is maintained in good working condition for effective sanitization of reusable kitchen utensils & equipment.
