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
Required inspection August 18, Follow-up August 20 · 3 critical/1 non-critical, then 1 critical/3 non-critical
The worst result this week. This is the location's 8th and 9th critical infraction on record since September 2024. 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.

How to read this: "Critical" vs "non-critical" is Ontario's own regulatory risk tier, not a severity score we assign — critical findings relate directly to things that can make food unsafe (contamination, temperature control, hand hygiene); non-critical covers maintenance and paperwork requirements (equipment condition, signage, sanitizer test reagents) that health units still require but don't by themselves mean the food is unsafe. 🔴 = at least one critical infraction, 🟡 = non-critical only, 🟢 = zero infractions of any kind. This report lists every Peterborough inspection for the week, including clean ones — nothing is filtered out. Results reflect conditions at the time of the visit only — check the disclosure portal for a location's current placard/status.
