The trouble with yellow
Article Abstract:
Toronto's new Food Premise Regulation has caused much anxiety among restaurateurs in the city. The Regulation resulted from a series of stories in the Toronto Star which reported on the poor condition of the city's restaurant inspection procedures. The new Regulation will require all eating and drinking places to present food-safety inspection notices in a conspicuous place. The Regulation will have a three-color rating system, green for pass, yellow for a conditional pass while red means closed.
