A complaint sent Halton Region Public Health inspectors back to Risposta Bistro, 24 Crawford Crescent, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and they found the restaurant falling short on a critical food-safety rule: that food comes from approved sources and is adequately protected from contamination.
Inspectors check each restaurant against a list of items, some marked critical. Of the seven on the bistro's list, that was the only one it failed. The other critical item, on cooking, cooling and storing food at proper temperatures, was marked not applicable, as were the five non-critical items.
Down the street, The Trail Eatery at 35 Crawford Crescent had every item in compliance at its own re-inspection on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Across Milton, 52 of the 62 food premises inspected between Oct. 13 and Nov. 12, in the records Lokul has collected, had every item in compliance.
The complaint visit came three weeks after a routine inspection of the bistro on Oct. 21. Records also list a routine inspection on June 18 and a re-inspection on June 23. A follow-up is due by Friday, Nov. 13.
