They were given a "conditional pass."

Toronto restaurants regularly undergo inspections in order to ensure that they meet certain requirements and standards, and if they don't meet them they incur infractions, which is what's happened to over a dozen places in the city recently.
DineSafe, an inspection system based on provincial and municipal regulations, has three types of infractions: crucial, significant and minor. If one or more significant or crucial infractions are observed at a restaurant, they are given a Conditional Pass which means that the restaurant will be reinspected.
"If the infractions are corrected and no other infractions or only Minor Infractions are found, a Pass Notice will be issued," explains the City of Toronto. "If the infractions are not corrected by the time of the first re-inspection, a ticket will be issued and a second re-inspection will be conducted at a later date."
Here are 15 Toronto restaurants that have received a Conditional Pass from May 1 to May 7, their addresses and how many infractions of each type they received.
