A
Mr. Puffs
The location in Montreal finds itself in hot water following receipt of two
fines for sanitation violations
amounting to $3,500, based on recent decisions made by the Montreal Municipal Court.
The problems arise from two distinct inspections carried out by
The Quebec Department of Agriculture, Fishing, and Food (MAPAQ)
At the Mr. Puffs situated at 7775 Newman Boulevard in LaSalle, the well-known dessert spot famous for its honey-drenched Greek doughnuts received citations for failing to meet food safety regulations related to hygiene and pest management issues.
The initial penalty of $2,000 was issued after an inspection conducted on January 30, 2024. As per
MAPAQ
The establishment did not manage to maintain a clean environment free from contaminants, pollutants, and various pests such as insects, rodents, and their droppings. The decision was concluded on January 31, 2025.
On March 18, 2024, a subsequent review uncovered comparable problems. As a result, an additional penalty was imposed, amounting to $1,500, which was validated by the court on April 25, 2025.
In each instance, the infractions pertained to a particular section of
Quebec’s food regulations
, which mandate that all areas utilized for food preparation or storage must be entirely devoid of any pest-related contamination.
Even though the report highlighted serious concerns, the facility in LaSalle remained operational. According to MAPAQ, establishments are closed exclusively when there’s an immediate threat to public health; such a condition wasn’t identified here. This usually indicates that prompt actions were undertaken and met with approval from the authorities involved.
If you’re curious, yes, you can still enjoy your puffs—but perhaps take a look at the inspection sheet when you’re standing in line next time.
