This record comes from Alberta Health Services Environmental Public Health, which inspects food premises across Alberta. Inspectors record any violations of applicable health regulations on each visit. The result above is the most recent inspection on file.
Alberta records each visit as either a routine inspection (with any violations noted) or a closed order. If you see violations listed without a closed order, the operator was allowed to continue while addressing them. A closed order means the inspector required the kitchen to stop serving customers until the issues were corrected.
