Of 66 Burlington food inspections by Halton Region Public Health between Oct. 5 and Nov. 4, 53 found every item in compliance, according to the inspection records Lokul has collected. Halton Region Public Health is the regional health unit whose inspectors check restaurants, child care centres, long-term care homes and other places that serve food.
Restaurants made up the largest share of those visits, at 34, followed by child care centres at 7. That mix is not a random sample: Halton rates each premises as high, moderate or low risk, and the rating sets how often inspectors come.
Where inspectors did find problems, cleanliness of the premises came up most, followed by how equipment and utensils were cleaned and stored. Food temperature and storage, a critical item, the kind inspectors treat as a direct risk of making people sick, came up four times. Those are counts across inspections, not of different businesses.
