Agriculture Minister Brooke Taylor said the system "will allow us to
better manage food safety information" and streamline the work process
for the province's 25 food safety specialists, giving them more time to
inspect facilities. The province's food specialists handle about
9,700 inspections each year in 5,000 licensed food service facilities, the
province said. Reports will be posted within two or three days
of inspections, the province said, and will show any deficiencies, the action
taken, warnings issued and closure notices for facilities. Food inspection reports will also still be
available through the ag department's routine
access policy, which it noted will only provide the most recent report for
three establishments at a time. |
