What is EatSafe Ottawa?
The overall mandate of the food safety program is to improve food safety standards and reduce the risk of foodborne illness. EatSafe Ottawa, launched April 15,2009, provides up to date, easily accessible inspection information and promote food safety and cleanliness in Ottawa’s retail food industry. Inspectors visit food establishments, both on a routine and complaint related basis, to make sure any deficiencies are quickly corrected, and prepare a report about each visit. This report is posted online shortly after the inspection and includes any deficiencies found at the establishment.
