This record comes from Alberta Health Services Environmental Public Health, which inspects food premises across Alberta. Inspectors record any violations of applicable health regulations on each visit. The result above is the most recent inspection on file.
Alberta records each visit as either a routine inspection (with any violations noted) or a closed order. If you see violations listed without a closed order, the operator was allowed to continue while addressing them. A closed order means the inspector required the kitchen to stop serving customers until the issues were corrected.
**Thorough and detailed cleaning required for each bathroom (sinks, dispensers, walls, etc)
**no ready made sanitizer could be located for use in the customer area and customer tables. Spray bottle labeled disinfectant was empty.
** filthy apron that exhibited heavy build up of food and grime was observed
**3 different high risk cooked foods were stored at room temperature on the counter, on the cold stovetop, and on the cold grill.
(pilot lights do NOT provide heat) or the food was intentionally left stored at room temperature for some other purpose. A staff member did finally tell the PHI that the food left over was because they accidentally made too much of 5 different dishes. They would not comment if it was to be stored in the cooler or discarded. , 1. If the high risk foods were meant to be cooled: the foods should be transferred to a cold container from the hot pan, a timer set for 30 minutes, and stir often to release trapped heat before storing in the cooler or freezer, 2. If the high risk foods were meant for staff food - the staff should consume while hot outside the kitchen for a proper break. The staff should not temperature abuse their own food as it may lead to gastrointestinal illness. Staff cannot work in the food industry when suffering from vomiting and diarrhea as it can spread to the customers., 3. If the staff thought the pilot light was keeping the high risk food warm, please educate them that the pilot light/flame is inadequate for any kind of temperature control., 4. If the high risk foods were stored on the stove because too much food was made, it brings a different concern. Portion control to ensure only as much food needed is reheated should be taught to the staff. Constantly reheating unused portions, improperly cooling them, and then reheating again later may lead to customer gastrointestinal illness, customer complaints regarding food quality and food flavor., ** - There was one overside wok/pan of cooked sauce stored at room temperature on a cold stove. Staff informed the PHI that they planned to add the cooked fish to the mixture. Please ensure that the mixture remains hot at over 60'C until such time you are ready to cool the sauce and fish down properly - by transferring to a cold container and dividing up the sauce and fish into smaller amounts for rapid cooling.
