Ce dossier provient d'Alberta Health Services Environmental Public Health, qui inspecte les établissements alimentaires partout en Alberta. Les inspecteurs notent toute infraction aux règlements sanitaires applicables à chaque visite. Le résultat ci-dessus correspond à la dernière inspection au dossier.
L'Alberta enregistre chaque visite soit comme une inspection routinière (avec d'éventuelles infractions notées), soit comme un ordre de fermeture. Si vous voyez des infractions listées sans ordre de fermeture, l'exploitant a été autorisé à poursuivre ses activités tout en les corrigeant. Un ordre de fermeture signifie que l'inspecteur a exigé l'arrêt du service à la clientèle jusqu'à la correction des problèmes.
