The product was probed at 7°C near the container's edges and 11°C in the center of the container. Staff explained that the prep cooler lid remains open throughout the day and that the peameal had been held in the cooler for longer than two hours., , The container of peameal was discarded at the time of inspection., , Please ensure that the prep cooler lid remains open for a maximum of two hours only. As the prep cooler is located adjacent to the grills, ensure that meat products stored in the open-top prep cooler are covered as needed and maintained at or below 4°C to prevent harmful microbiological growth.
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.
Quaternary ammonium (quats) test strips were available; however, they were expired and had turned yellow in colour rather than the original orange., , Please ensure new, unexpired quats test strips capable of confirming sanitizer concentrations between 200–400 ppm are obtained and used to ensure quats sanitizer solutions are prepared and maintained at the correct concentration.
The cookline did not have a sanitizer solution prepared. Staff did correct this during the inspection but please make sure that one or more wiping cloth buckets are available for staff to use.
The quat solution in all of the spray bottles in the kitchen and service area were well above 400ppm. This can leave chemical residues on surfaces and uses up an expensive product. Please ensure that staff follow the manufacturers' instructions of 1tsp concentrate per 1L of water when mixing the 200ppm solution. Corrected During Inspection: staff diluted the solutions.
Test strips were not available for staff to use to check sanitizer solution concentrations. Please ensure that test strips are available for the quaternary ammonium sanitizer used on site.
Overall, the kitchen and service areas were clean and well organized., , The floor in the walk-in cooler has debris building up. Please give this area a good cleaning.
