On the same day Epic Burgers and Waffles reopened its CNE food booth — minus the plagued cronut burger — Toronto Public Health and exhibition officials closed two other eateries in the Food Building.

Bourbon Street Grill and Bao 360 Shanghai Express, both operated by Innovated Restaurant Group, were shut down Tuesday because of numerous food safety infractions.

Despite the timing of the closures — after more than 200 patrons got sick from the cronut burger’s tainted maple bacon jam, supplied by a bakery — people should not be alarmed, said Ex general manager David Bednar.

“The CNE is still the safest place to eat a meal in the GTA,’’ he told a Wednesday news conference at the Food Building, held in front of the closed food outlets and just opposite a booth advertising a $10 bacon-wrapped Mars bar and ice cream special.

These latest closures are “exceptional,’’ said Bednar, adding that a food booth is closed on average every other year at the fair. The operators of the food outlets were also found to be breaching CNE contract rules and regulations, he said.

Bourbon Street Grill and Bao 360 Shanghai Express were closed not because anyone got sick but due to “a proactive inspection program,” said Jim Chan, food inspection manager for Toronto Public Health.

Chan said food safety inspectors had given Bourbon Street Grill a conditional pass on the day it opened and continued to monitor it. After a reinspection on Tuesday, it was shut down, along with Bao 360 which shared a kitchen.

The DineSafe inspector’s report mentioned a failure by the operator to prevent gross unsanitary conditions, properly wash multi-use utensils, maintain hazardous foods at the proper temperature and ensure that food is not contaminated.

A spokesperson for Innovated Restaurant Group said the CNE outlets were run by an independent licensee “who has been operating at that location for the past number of years without incident.

“We understand that this is the first year both units have to operate without a storage space. Lack of space and refrigeration capacity might be the cause of concern in keeping hazardous food at proper temperature.”

Chan said at least six charges under the provincial Health Protection and Promotion Act are pending against the operators of the two food booths which will remain closed for the rest of the fair. He said it wasn’t clear on Wednesday whether the charges would be laid against a corporation (conviction carries a fine of up to $25,000 per charge) or an individual (conviction carries a fine up to $5,000 per charge).

More than 360 food establishments have been inspected at the CNE since it opened, Chan said, and these are the only two that were closed. Epic Burgers voluntarily closed Aug. 20 before reopening Tuesday with approval from public health officials.

Toronto Public Health is investigating the cronut burger jam contaminated by the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and supplied by Le Dolci bakery.

It still isn’t clear if the contamination was related to food handling practices or ingredients, or where in the supply chain it happened. Lab results on each ingredient in the jam — bacon, maple syrup, brown sugar and water — are expected later this week.
