Peel Public Health inspectors recently issued a conditional pass to a Brampton restaurant following a routine inspection. The inspection took place on March 19 at Kang’s Dhaba & Pizza, located at 15 Ashby Field Rd., Unit 9.
As part of their routine checks, Peel Public Health inspects various food establishments, including restaurants, cocktail bars, bakeries, and more, to ensure compliance with food safety standards. During the inspection of Kang’s Dhaba & Pizza, several violations were noted:
-
The restaurant did not provide or use accurate and easy-to-read thermometers.
-
The establishment lacked a supply of potable hot and cold running water under pressure.
-
No test reagent was provided to determine the concentration of sanitizer.
-
Utensils were not properly washed and sanitized.
-
Non-food contact surfaces were not maintained clean, sanitary, and in good condition.
-
The required supplies for every washroom were not provided.
-
The mechanical ventilation system was not properly maintained to remove odours, fumes, vapours, smoke, and excessive heat.
-
The restaurant did not have at least one food handler or supervisor with valid food handler certification present on-site during all hours of operation.
Peel Public Health’s inspection program uses a color-coded system to indicate a business’s compliance with food safety regulations:
-
A green pass indicates that the establishment is fully compliant with health and safety requirements.
-
A yellow conditional pass means the establishment is not fully compliant, and corrective actions must be taken immediately, especially for items that pose a risk of illness.
-
A red closed sign is issued if a serious health risk or danger is found, and the business is required to close until the issues are resolved.
The conditional pass issued to Kang’s Dhaba & Pizza signals that several issues need to be addressed. Peel Public Health encourages the public to stay informed about food safety through these regular inspections.
