Manitoba Health has once again published its Health Protection Report that lists closures, violations and infractions during 2019.
The report shows restaurants that were forced to close due for a variety of reasons including failure to protect food from contamination, or failing to take effective measures against the entry of rodents.
In total, 26 Winnipeg restaurants and food establishments made the list. Most restaurants have since addressed the violations and re-opened.
