About Pass or Fail

What it is

Pass or Fail is an independent website that makes Canadian restaurant health inspection records easy to find and understand. Canadian cities regularly inspect food-service establishments and publish the results as open data — but those records are often buried in government portals that are hard to search. Pass or Fail puts that information one search away.

What the results mean

Each inspection ends with one of three outcomes:

• Pass — no significant violations found.
• Conditional Pass — violations were found that the establishment must correct; the inspector will follow up.
• Closed — the establishment was ordered to close until violations are corrected.

Where the data comes from

All inspection data is sourced directly from government open data portals:

• Toronto — City of Toronto DineSafe programme, published under the City of Toronto Open Government Licence
• Additional cities as coverage expands across Canada

We do not conduct inspections or generate results. The data is reproduced as published by the relevant health authority. See our Terms of Use for important accuracy and timeliness limitations.

Coverage

Pass or Fail currently covers Toronto, Ontario, with more Canadian cities planned. Inspection records are updated regularly as new data is published by health authorities.
