The food kept in the hot holding unit was place shortly before the officer came to the shop,</p> <p> hence the food was unable to reach the minimum temperature required. I mentioned this to the</p> <p> officer but she refused to accept this.</p> <p> 6. The inspector stated on the paperwork that it was a counter top that was damaged but this is</p> <p> incorrect as it was a shelf in the back storage shelf that was broken. This shelf had a box in the</p> <p> shelf which was removed and take the photo. I stated this to the officer that this was a storage</p> <p> shelf yet she wrote countertop. No food is made on the shelf it is used strictly for storage.</p> <p> <strong>Confidence in management / control precedures</strong></p> <p> 5. The officer wrote an additional point but was she had removed this as she was incorrect. She</p> <p> stated that there was no sanitiser on site, but there was plenty of bottles in the storage cupboard.</p> <p> She stated that the bottle that was in use was empty but after showing her there was clearly 1/4 a bottle remaining. Hence she removed the statement.</p> <p> I believe this inspector was unfair and trying to put down my business. Some of her points were</p> <p> unjust and unnecessary. I suspect that she had a vendetta against me. Hence, I refused to sign</p> <p> the paperwork&rsquo;s as I did not agree with her rating and judgement.</p>
