Manitoba Restaurants Fined in 2017 for Health Code Violations and Rodent Infestations

Manitoba Health has once again released list of closures, violations and infractions over the past year.


The Summer 2017 report shows a few restaurants that were forced to close due for a variety of reasons from operating without a permit to insanitary conditions and rodent infestations.

Big name restaurants include: the McDonald’s on Ness, Second Cup on Osborne, The Toad in the Hole on Osborne, Meiji Sushi on River, Sorrento’s Pizza on Ellice, and The Nook & Cranny on Portage.

Most restaurants have addressed the violations and re-opened if they were closed.
