What the business says

I agree with the inspection results but have since carried out the following improvements: The premises has been thoroughly cleaned and procedures are in place to ensure that cleanliness is maintained, The staff have been retrained

The conditions found at the time of the inspection were not typical of the normal conditions maintained at the establishment and arose because: Aprons not worn by food handlers - staff have been retrained in the importance of using the appropriate PPE. Cutting boards badly scored - 2 new cutting boards have been purchased as requested Frozen meat being defrosted at ambient temperature - staff have been retrained in how to defrost food correctly, by either placing in the fridge or placing in a sealed container and placing under cold running water. Cleaning products stored near foods - this comment relates to some clean and unused sponges that were near a unsealed bag of flour. At the time of the inspection, these were moved to a more appropriate place that the inspector approved of. Flooring underneath equipment dirty, legs to equipment dirty - these were cleaned immediately. As stated at the time of inspection, we do a deep clean once a week on a Sunday where things like the legs of equipment are attended to. Pipework dirty - relating to the pipework under the sink. These have been cleaned. Sink had food debris in it - at the time of the inspection we were quite busy. Staff have been reminded about the importance of cleaning as you go. Seals on fridges dirty - these have been cleaned. Inspector says they felt we were not working to our Safer Food Better Business pack - we always endeavour to follow all of the polices/procedures and advised methods as provided in the pack. We hope that the changes made reflect this.
