A Gilford bakery was cited for food safety violations following recent inspections by Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit officials.

Two resorts in Simcoe-Muskoka are also facing violations related to their pools following recent routine inspections.

Multiple infractions related to daily record taking were also noted, as well as a failure to add the required amount of fresh water to the pool daily, not having the operator trained in public pool water chemistry, and a failure to operate and maintain the premises free from conditions that may be an immediate health hazard.
