CANADA: Restaurants revealed - (The Telegram)
March 14, 2008 – 5:52 pmThe Telegram in Newfoundland has, according to this story, obtained the names of six restaurants that repeatedly failed multiple critical health requirements in recent years. The restaurants were highlighted but unnamed in a recent auditor generals report.
Five of the six restaurants are currently in compliance with health regulations Fisherman’s Landing in St. Lewis, Labrador didn’t meet the province’s requirements as of May 2006. Inspectors returned in January of this year, but the seasonal operation was closed at the time of the visit. Inspectors plan to return in the spring.
Meanwhile, one restaurant Jungle Jims on Topsail Road scored low enough in 2005 that provincial inspectors could have legally shut it down. The inspectors chose not to and the restaurant remained open, with violations likely corrected at the time of inspection.
