5 inspections

  1. Follow-Up Inspection

    0 infractions

  2. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 101 - Plans/construction/alterations not in accordance with the Regulation [s. 3; s. 4]
      • Observation: At the time of inspection, the domestic dishwasher in the facility was observed to be broken and not in use. The manager reported that the dishwasher has been out of service for some time and has not yet been repaired. The facility currently relies solely on a two-compartment sink for warewashing, with no backup method available now that the dishwasher has failed. (Public Health Significance) : Limited warewashing capacity will compromise sanitation and increase the risk of foodborne illness. Additionally, the current method does not align with the facility’s approved ware washing and sanitation plan.
      • Corrective Action: The following two options are available for maintaining long-term compliance: 1. Remove the existing non-functioning domestic/residential dishwasher and install a functioning NSF-certified commercial dishwasher. 2. Install a proper three-compartment sink for warewashing, separate from the dedicated handwashing sink. In this case, the existing dishwasher may continue to be used once it has been repaired. The operator must provide a plan and corresponding timeline for how they will proceed.
    • 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
      • Observation: (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION) At the time of inspection, the handwashing station had a utensil placed in it and contained food debris, indicating it was not being used as a dedicated handwashing station. (Public Health Significance): Hand washing is an important practice to ensure food are protected from cross contamination from other previously handled foods or contact surfaces.
      • Corrective Action: Ensure the hand wash station is accessible at all times and used only as a hand wash station whenever food is being prepared. Soap and paper towel in dispensers and hot and cold running water must be provided to facilitate proper hand washing.
  3. Routine Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 201 - Critical Food contaminated or unfit for human consumption [s. 13]
      • Observation: Facility was using community water, processed through a filter, currently under a boil water notice to prepare ice for their cold beverages. The filter has not been approved for use during a boil water notice. (Public Health significance) Water consumed under a boil water notice could cause harm and could result in waterborne illnesses.
      • Corrective Action: Do not use the ice machine with community water until the boil water notice has been lifted. Alternatively, use annother source (an approved source not currently under a notice) of water for the machine. The community water may be used IF the water is brought to a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute and cooled prior to use. After the boil water notice has been lifted clean and sanitize the ice machine according to the manufacturer's instructions before reusing it. Coffee and other hot beverages are still allowed to be sold because they reach temperatures hot enough (74°C/ 165°F for a minimum 15 seconds, verified by a probe thermometer) to kill pathogenic organisms.
    • 309 - Chemicals, cleansers, & similar agents stored or labeled improperly [s. 27]
      • Observation: Bleach sanitizer is mixed and used in a bottle that has no label. (Public Health significance) Having unlabelled bottles in the kitchen could inadvertently allow for the chemicals to end up in food for human consumption. Unlabelled chemicals can be used for purposes other than their intended ones and therefore can lead to illness or injury.
      • Corrective Action: Add a label to the sanitizer stating what is in the bottle and at what concentration (Bleach, 200 ppm)
