Public health inspectors handed out tickets for violations under the province’s Health Protection and Promotion Act at four York Region food service providers.

• Ann’s Congee, 2 - 1102 Centre St., Vaughan, was charged with failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration.

• Keung’s Delight, 1 - 7030 Warden Ave., Markham, was charged with failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration, operating a food premise maintained in a manner adversely affecting sanitary condition and failing to ensure the ceiling of a food-handling room was kept clean.

• Szechuan Szechuan, R2 - 1 Bass Pro Mills Dr., Vaughan, was charged with failing to keep facility sanitary and failing to ensure the floor of a food-handling room was kept clean.

• Chongqing Liuyishou Hot Pot, 102 - 650 Hwy. 7 E., Richmond Hill, was charged with operating a food premise maintained in a manner adversely affecting sanitary condition.

Charges do not necessarily result in failure of the health inspection; they simply highlight problems for which the establishments were penalized. The establishments are given a chance to get back into compliance and pass their health inspections.
