Inspections are based on regulations that are designed to eliminate risk factors for food borne disease. Each violation of these regulations is listed under the inspection.
Violation Types
Priority (P): The highest risk violations which are directly related to an increased risk of foodborne illness. Examples include improper handwashing, unsafe food temperatures.
Priority foundation (Pf): Violations that can create a high risk (Priority) violation. Examples include lack of soap at a handsink, no calibrated thermometer, no test strips to check sanitizer levels.
Core (C): Lower risk violations. Examples include general maintenance of facility (floors, walls, ceilings).
Correction Requirements: (P) and (Pf) violations must be corrected immediately when possible. Follow-up inspections occur to ensure all of these violations have been resolved if not corrected during the routine inspection. (C) violation corrections are verified at the next routine inspection.

7-204.11 - PRIORITY
Violation Comments:A sanitizer intended for cleaning kennels and animal related areas was found under the three compartment sink. This was a quaternary ammonium based sanitizer but not approved for use with food contact surfaces.
Sanitizers used with food-contact surfaces at food service establishments must be approved for this use and be chlorine, quaternary ammonium, or iodine. The manufacturer's label will confirm if the sanitizer is approved for food-contact surfaces.
Corrected: The person in charge properly disposed of the unapproved sanitizer and replaced it with bleach that is approved for use with food-contact surfaces.

Violation Comments:Chlorine test strips were not available at the establishment.
A test kit is required to confirm the concentration of sanitizer solution is within the manufacturers specifications. Sanitizer that is too weak will not effectively kill harmful microorganisms that cause foodborne illness. Sanitizer that is too strong may be toxic.
To Correct: Obtain chlorine test strips and train staff to use properly (Concentration range should be between 50-100ppm). Please send photo of test strips to kanderson@miottawa.org as proof of correction within 7 days.
