Saskatchewan residents now have access to improved online restaurant inspection information. The province has launched a new restaurant inspection website that provides user-friendly, up-to-date information from public health inspector reports about food service facilities across Saskatchewan.
“This resource makes it easier for residents to find more useful information, so they can be confident food service facilities are safe and complying with public health regulations,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The new electronic reporting system is an important tool that helps protect public health and encourages transparency and accountability.”
The information is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/emergency-public-health-and-safety/food-safety/restaurant-inspection-information.
Public health inspectors have been working on populating the site with improved data. Approximately 60 per cent of restaurant-type facilities have been inspected using the new electronic system so far. The remainder of facilities currently show historical inspection data, and will have more detailed information added as they are inspected over the coming months.
The system saves time for public health inspectors and makes reporting more efficient. Tablet technology has replaced hand-written paper reports, eliminating the need for time-consuming transcription, bringing more consistency to reporting, and supporting real-time updates to the website.
