Premise Inspection

The followings are common non-conformances that Health Department found in restaurant.  let us study together and be alert about it -

1. There is no pest (Cockroaches, Flies and mouse) controls scheduled in the premise.  Pest can spread disease via food and resulting food poisoning to human being. 

2. The equipment  /tools are not in good condition or rusty.  Towel and chopping board are not clean.  The dirty and broken equipment or tool could be a root cause of bacteria growth and pest. 

3. In freeze storing, Raw food is kept too close in one another and touching the opened container.  Cross contamination could happen from raw food to cooked food, even though it is put in freezer.  

4. Stagnant water in kitchen where the water could be splashed onto food, when food handler is walking or preparing food.  This result the food is contaminated.

Hence, do remember to keep your premise clean always, as the officer could inspect ANYTIME...
