The popular dessert shop, known for its syrupy Greek doughnuts, was found to be in violation of food safety standards tied to cleanliness and pest control.</p><p>The first fine, for $2,000, was handed down following a January 30, 2024 inspection. According to <a href="https://media.mapaq.gouv.qc.ca/condamnations/?type=alimentation" target="_blank">MAPAQ</a>, the restaurant failed to keep its space free of contaminants, pollutants, and all forms of pests — including insects, rodents, and their droppings. The ruling was finalized on January 31, 2025.</p><p>A second inspection on March 18, 2024 revealed similar issues. That led to another fine, this time for $1,500, confirmed by the court on April 25, 2025.</p><p>In both cases, the violations fell under a specific clause of <a href="https://www.legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/document/rc/P-29,%20r.%201/" target="_blank">Quebec's food regulations</a>, which require that any place used for food preparation or storage must be completely free of pest-related contamination.</p><p>Despite the seriousness of the findings, the LaSalle location was not shut down. MAPAQ confirmed that closures are only enforced if there's an imminent public health risk, which inspectors did not deem necessary in this case. That typically means corrective measures were taken quickly and to the ministry's satisfaction.</p><p>So, in case you're wondering, yes, you can still get your puffs — but maybe glance at the inspection sheet next time you're waiting in line.</p><p>You can view MAPAQ's updated list of local health violations on the <a href="https://media.mapaq.gouv.qc.ca/condamnations/?type=alimentation" target="_blank">Quebec government's website</a>. </p><p><em>Love this?
