REGINA – Restaurant inspection information is back online in Saskatchewan after being down for nearly half a year.
The province launched a revamped restaurant inspection website to provide user friendly, up-to-date information from public health inspectors about food service facilities around 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.”
Public Health inspectors have been working on populating the new site with the improved data, and so far around 60 per cent of restaurant-type facilities have been inspected using the new electronic system.
The new system should save time for public health inspectors and make reports more efficient. Tablets replace old hand written paper reports, eliminating the need for time-consuming transcription and allowing for real-time updates on the site.
Public health inspections are conducted on more than 5,000 public eating establishments around Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan first started posting restaurant inspections online in 2009.
