While it has freshly baked items, King of Kings is also known for its hot table serving up fried fish and turkey.
The store, which remains open, received a conditional pass on March 7, according to Toronto Public Health, and had previously passed with no or minor infractions.
Its four crucial violations were failing to ensure food handlers washed their hands as necessary to prevent contamination of food as well as failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration.
Also, the store maintained potentially hazardous foods at internal temperature between 4C and 60C, while also allowing for the “contamination of single-service articles.”
The store’s eight significant infractions were not providing enough hand-washing stations and failing to ensure equipment surfaces were cleaned as necessary, failing to remove wastes when necessary to maintain a sanitary condition and ensuring food handlers “in food premise is clean.”

Three of the five minor infractions pertained to the food-handling room including keeping it free from equipment not regularly used, not having a “tight floor surface,” and said floors not being kept clean.
Also, the store was “not maintained to permit cleaning of walls,” while the appliances were also not arranged in a way to permit cleaning.
As for the “other” violation, completion of food-handling training by a food handler or supervisor was not complete.
