Information About Posted Restaurant Inspections
Calgary and Area



The restaurant inspection database, for the Calgary and area zone of Alberta Health Services, was created under direction of the Alberta Minister of Health. The database allows the general public to search a restaurant's most recent health inspection reports in order to make better informed decisions about where to eat. Restaurant health inspections, of the type listed below and conducted after January 1, 2008 will be included in the database. The information posted on the Alberta Health Services website regarding inspections of food facilities in the Calgary and area zone is valid only for the time of inspection. Although every effort is made to have new inspections posted within 72 hours, unforeseen circumstances may delay the posting process. If a facility exceeds the maximum acceptable level of risk for continued operation or if the operator fails to correct or eliminate the hazards identified, the Public Health Inspector as an Executive Officer has the discretion to order the facility closed.

*Important changes have recently been made to the restaurant inspection database*

The Calgary and Area Environmental Health Inspection Reports' search results now display inspections conducted after June 10, 2010. Only the five most recent health inspections will be displayed for a facility at one time. Inspections conducted between January 1, 2008 and June 10, 2010, have been archived and will no longer be updated in any way. These inspection reports may therefore contain incorrect location and / or ownership information and / or status information (may be closed or out of business). Archived inspection reports can be accessed using the link in the upper right hand portion of the search window. The archived inspection reports will be available for viewing until June 10, 2012.



Types of Inspections:

Initial / Approval - an inspection of a facility performed prior to its opening to determine if the facility is in a condition capable of being operated in compliance with applicable legislation.
