Little Stars Daycare - Kitchen

The operator indicated that the high-temperature commercial dishwasher is sometimes used for utensil and dish sanitation but requires several cycles to reach the appropriate sanitizing temperatures. The program primarily uses the three-sink method for dishwashing (the hand sink is used after being sanitized.), , During the inspection, the temperature was measured at around 40C after two run cycles, which is inadequate for sanitation (82C required at the manifold and 71C required at the dish level). The operator was instructed to sanitize utensils by soaking them in a bleach solution in one of the two-compartment sinks., , The dishwasher may be used for washing only, not for sanitizing. Utensils/dishes must be sanitized by soaking them in a bleach solution in one of the two-compartment sinks., , For a 5% bleach solution, use 1/2 teaspoon per liter of water or 1 tablespoon per gallon of water — the chlorine concentration must be tested at 100 ppm.

The oven vent was poorly maintained. Heavy dust/ debris buildup was noted. Please clean and maintain the vents and filters regularly to ensure proper ventilation and cleanliness.
