Toronto Public Health issued one conditional passes to restaurants, cafés, bakeries, bars and grocery stores on May 1.

Mirra’s Place at 3157 Dufferin Street received a conditional pass with nine major infractions:

• Fail to ensure facility surface cleaned as necessary

• Fail to ensure food handler in food premise washes hands as necessary to prevent contamination of food

• Fail to maintain handwashing stations (liquid soap and paper towels)

• Fail to protect food from contamination or adulteration

• Hot-holding potentially hazardous foods at internal temperature below 60 C

• Use dirty cloth for cleaning food contact surface

• Use food equipment not of sound and tight construction

• Use utensils not of readily cleanable form

• Mechanical equipment not maintained to provide sufficient chemical solution rinse

A conditional pass is issued when at least one infraction presents a significant health risk, and a closure is ordered when at least one infraction presents an immediate health hazard. Both outcomes trigger an additional inspection within 48 hours. Failure to comply with Toronto’s DineSafe program can result in fines, court summons and other enforcement action.
