Certificate of Inspection
All food premises must post a Certificate of Inspection (PDF file) in a location that is visible to patrons. The certificate tells patrons that Summary Inspection Reports are available for viewing upon request.
Summary Inspection Report
A Summary Inspection Report outlines whether a food premise has met basic food safety standards as required by provincial legislation. All food premises must provide the Summary Inspection Reports (PDF file) to patrons upon request. Ask the manager at the establishment to see their report. Posting of Summary Inspection Reports are now available on the Halton Region website.
