The staff was instructed to create a new sanitizer solution, which was measured at 100-ppm. The inspector informed the staff and manager that a 100-ppm chlorine sanitizer solution must be maintained at all times during the operations. Less than 100 ppm means inadequate sanitization and more than 200 ppm means that chlorine residues could stay in food-contact surfaces, which contaminates food. Please ensure to test the chlorine concentration each time a solution is made, then daily before use, and recommended to check the solution every 2-4 hours throughout operations. Test strips for chlorine available on site.
    • 04. Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?

The inspector informed the staff that proper glove use must be practiced and implemented at all times when handling food. A copy of the Guidelines for Proper Glove Use in Food Establishments will be provided with this report. As indicated, hands must be washed and dried thoroughly before wearing gloves, when changing to a new pair of gloves, and after removing the gloves. A new pair of gloves must be worn when changing tasks (e.g. when moving to a new workstation, after handling raw meats, before handling ready-to-eat foods such as sandwiches, after cleaning duties, etc.), after covering mouth during sneezing or coughing, blowing nose, or touching hair (again, hands must be washed after gloves have been removed), as frequently as possible. A pair of gloves should not be worn for more than 4 hours.
