While most restaurants maintain clean environments in Brampton, mistakes happen and sometimes creepy crawlers end up in kitchens and milk sits on a counter a little longer than it should. Well that all sounds terribly unpleasant, that’s what routine Region of Peel health inspections are for.

In the past few months, the Region closed three restaurants in Brampton for violations of the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act (all of which have re-opened and passed follow-up inspections). Another six restaurants recently received conditional passes.

The restaurants which closed within the last few months (or since our last report) are:
