Peterborough Public Health inspected 18 food premises in Peterborough this week. Nine locations received infractions — five had at least one critical infraction and four had non-critical infractions only. Nine inspections came back completely clean.
Here's what was found...
🔴 Maple Moose Pub — 331 George St N, Peterborough Central South
Required inspection August 24, Follow-up August 25 · 4 critical/4 non-critical, then 0 critical/1 non-critical
The worst single-visit result this week, but also the fastest turnaround. This is the location's 4th critical infraction on record since September 2024. A required inspection on August 24 found the dishwasher not sanitizing at the required chlorine concentration/temperature, multi-service articles not sanitized after each use, food not protected from contamination, and an inadequate number of hand-washing stations — plus four non-critical issues (pest control, dirty cloths/towels, no sanitizer test reagent, no towels/air dryer at the sanitary facility). A follow-up the very next day (August 25) found all four critical issues resolved, with only one non-critical infraction remaining: pest control.

How to read this: "Critical" vs "non-critical" is Ontario's own regulatory risk tier, not a severity score we assign — critical findings relate directly to things that can make food unsafe (contamination, temperature control, hand hygiene); non-critical covers maintenance and paperwork requirements (equipment condition, signage, sanitizer test reagents) that health units still require but don't by themselves mean the food is unsafe. 🔴 = at least one critical infraction, 🟡 = non-critical only, 🟢 = zero infractions of any kind. This report lists every Peterborough inspection for the week, including clean ones — nothing is filtered out. Results reflect conditions at the time of the visit only — check the disclosure portal for a location's current placard/status.
