The Clean Pantry

There was no sanitizer solution available during the inspection. There was food preparation during the inspection. The inspector informed the operator that a sanitizer solution must be prepared and readily available at all times during food operations. A sanitizer solution was prepared during the inspection. However, the chlorine sanitizer solution created was measured at >1000 ppm. The operator was instructed to create a new sanitizer solution, with instructions provided by the inspector, which was then measured at 100-ppm. The inspector informed the operator 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.

There were cleaning cloths stored on food-contact surfaces. The inspector informed the operator that cleaning cloths must be fully submerged in a sanitizer bucket solution at all times after use. The cleaning cloths were stored in a sanitizer bucket solution afterwards.
