DineSafe Toronto

This week on DineSafe: Gourmet Pizza, Shoeless Joe's, Il Fornello, FV Foods

It was a troubling week on Toronto's DineSafe database. If you love FV Foods, I'm sorry to have to inform you that it's been forced to close due to "gross unsanitary conditions" on top of food safety infractions involving temperature control maintenance. The establishment also failed to perform adequate pest control.

FV Foods was the only closure this week, but 19 other restaurants received conditional passes following their inspections for such delicious mistakes like failure to wash hands and keep food cold enough.
