Our Meetup group meets every week for stuff like trivia nights at different bars, nature walks and karaoke, and every month we meet for poker tournaments, parties and game nights! Occasionally we leave the GTA for food festivals and concerts, but most of the meet-ups are in Mississauga.

Check out our Meetup page here for more info! The group is called Night Shift and we have almost 500 members so far! Our next event is a Bar Meetup and Open Mic Night on Tuesday evening, this weekend we're meeting at a bar for their karaoke night, and later this summer we'll be hosting a pool party/private event for all of our members!

Ladies if you're looking for a girls-only group check out Social Butterflies! We meet every week for coffee, dinners, shopping trips and later this month we're going to a spa with hot springs for a relaxing spa day! Check out our ladies only group here: https://www.meetup.com/social-butterflies-gta/ You must be over 19 to join because a lot of our events take place in 19+ establishments.

It's been nearly two weeks since my last post regarding food safety in our city, and surprisingly there are only TWO places that made the list during that time. You might be thinking, "wow that is amazing!", but don't let the lack of entries fool you.

As some of you know from reading previous Naughty Lists, most kitchens in this city have a history of operating in an unsafe or unsanitary manner. This is like the calm before the storm- we all know there will be a bunch of places added to that list again soon, and they will have the usual "no potable water" and "food handler picked his bum in front of a health inspector then touched the food after" infractions- YUMMY! /s

Speaking of food handlers picking their nose or bum in front of a health inspector...

The Naughty List

Fresh Palace Supermarket (Creditview Rd Mississauga) SEVEN VIOLATIONS including SIGNIFICANT RISK food contamination, food handler did not use proper hygiene practices when handling food, handwashing stations not conveniently accessible to food handler. Follow up inspection May 4 green with these infractions still active SIGNIFICANT RISK food contamination, unsanitary non-food contact surfaces

Shiva Sakthi (Airport Rd Mississauga) SIGNIFICANT RISK Food contamination, SIGNIFICANT RISK hazardous food temperature danger zone, no soap/supplies at handwashing station, no handwashing station conveniently accessible for food handlers, food handler did not follow proper hygiene practices when handling food, a total of seven violations. Follow up inspection May 11 green with these infractions still active SIGNIFICANT RISK food contamination, dishwasher not up to code, unsanitary housekeeping practices

Wanna make sure the person making your meal didn't pick their bum before touching food in front of a health inspector? Before you go out to eat, use Peel Public Health's website to search the name of where you're going, and make sure it's safe for you and your loved ones to visit. If a place has a green pass, always click on the green pass to see if it is truly clean. Green passes can still have infractions like pests, no potable water at time of inspection, not handwashing and contaminating food, so to be issued a yellow pass the place has to be especially disgusting!

If you're grossed out by this post, you should be. Stop giving business to places that don't do the bare minimum to keep the public safe. If we all speak with our money, the bad places will be forced to shut down or fix their issues.

This week's Naughty List features food handler hygiene resulting in contaminated food (meaning the food handler didn't wash their hands after doing something gross, and then touched the food, IN FRONT OF A HEALTH INSPECTOR) as well as the usual suspects, no potable water and unsanitary food surfaces as a result of pests. Mmm rat turds and roaches, so delicious!
