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.
***Food safety record keeping was not being maintained. Discussed that the perishable food temperature records, dishwasher records, and sanitizer concentrations were to be documented at least once a day.
***food contact equipment was being stored in contaminated water at room temperature between uses. Discussed that spoons and mixers that are not cleaned between each use must be protected from contamination and bacterial amplification. Discussed acceptable alternatives and operator set up the reusable tools in an ice bath between uses.
***There were no labels on the sanitizer containers. Ensure containers are accurately labeled as to the contents.
***There was no hot water available at the washroom closest to the kitchen. The washroom closest to the kitchen had a small hot water leak from the faucet into the basin and the water had been turned off at the shut off valve. Staff was instructed to keep that hot water supply on and that washroom could remain in use.
***The washroom further from the kitchen had a more significant leak from the shut off valve under the sink. Staff were instructed to keep that water turned off and to close that washroom until the repairs were completed.
