Inspection summary

Mazar Restaurant N Cafe has been inspected 3 times by Durham Region Health Department since June 2, 2026. The most recent inspection, on September 11, 2026, found no infractions.

2 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 9 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Chemicals and toxic substances, Protecting food from contamination and Pests.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded 2 times on September 10, 2026. For example: Toxic / poisonous substances (chemicals / pesticides) to be stored separately from food

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on September 10, 2026. For example: Food protected from potential contamination and/or adulteration

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on September 10, 2026. For example: Adequate protection against the entrance of insects, vermin, and rodents

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 3 times on September 10, 2026. For example: Sanitary maintenance of and provision of required supplies in staff / public washroom facilities

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on September 10, 2026. For example: Food handler (does not use tobacco while handling food, has clean outer garments, good personal hygiene, hair confined, free from infectious agent of a disease/skin disease, submit medical exams and tests as required)
