Toronto bakery Commisso put on notice by health inspectors again

Article content

Just over a year after Commisso Bros. & Racco Italian Bakery was hit with a dozen infractions by Toronto health inspectors, the beloved establishment has received nine more.

The popular family-run, cash-only food spot, located at 8 Kincort St. in the Castlefield Design District, is known for its traditional Italian baked goods and hearty hot table.

Of the nine infractions it received on April 1, two were categorized as crucial, one significant and six minor, according to Toronto Public Health.

It received a conditional pass and remains open during its regular business hours which are, all the time, as Commisso is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

That said, the Italian bakery’s two crucial violations were failing to protect food from contamination or adulteration and failing to ensure storage racks were designed to protect against contamination.

Commisso’s lone significant infraction was failing to provide an adequate number of hand-washing stations.

As for the six minor infractions, there were issues related to the food-handling room, including the floors and ceiling not maintained, as well as the space not being free of equipment not regularly used.

The other violations were that Commisso’s walls were not maintained to permit the sanitary maintenance of its walls, while the appliances were not constructed to allow them to be maintained in sanitary condition.
