Kenzo Ramen Oakville, the restaurant at 1122 Dorval Drive, has fixed the problem a health inspector found there a week earlier. Halton Region Public Health, which inspects restaurants and other food premises across the region, went back on Thursday, Nov. 12, and found the restaurant's equipment and utensils properly cleaned, sanitized and maintained.
Both recent visits were follow-ups to a complaint. At the Nov. 5 visit, the inspector had found the same equipment not up to standard. Public Health rated it a non-critical item, meaning it was not an immediate food-safety risk, and gave the restaurant until Nov. 12 to fix it.
By Lokul's count of Halton Region Public Health records, unclean or poorly kept equipment was the issue inspectors found most often in Oakville between Oct. 14 and Nov. 13, turning up 8 times. In those records, Public Health inspected 127 food premises in town in that period, and 109 had every item in compliance.
Buca di Bacco Ristorante on Thomas Street had the same issue at a routine inspection on Nov. 4 and passed every item at its re-inspection on Nov. 6. AgeCare Glen Oaks, a long-term care home on Baronwood Drive, was flagged for the same item on Nov. 11. Its follow-up is due by Nov. 17.
