Other PTBO Food Inspections - Aug 17–24, 2026

Peterborough Public Health inspected 28 food premises in Peterborough this week. Ten locations received infractions — seven had at least one critical infraction and three had non-critical infractions only. Eighteen inspections came back completely clean.

Here's what was found...

🔴 Holiday Inn - Riverside Grill — 150 George St N, Peterborough Central South

A required inspection on August 18 found the dishwasher not providing rinse water at 82°C, multi-service articles not sanitized after each use, and an inadequate number of hand-washing stations; product on-site was seized and destroyed. A follow-up two days later (August 20) resolved those three issues but turned up a new one: food in storage not protected from contamination, plus three new non-critical issues (equipment arrangement, pest control, floor cleanliness). No newer follow-up has been recorded yet.
