Background
Public health inspectors from the Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU) visit food premises for compliance inspections.
These inspections make sure food premises operators are meeting the minimum requirements under Ontario law; Ontario Regulation 493: Food Premises.
The results of these inspections have always been available to the public through a Freedom of Information request.
To improve access to this information, TBDHU launched a public disclosure system in 2017 called DineWise.
As of 2019, all food premises in the Thunder Bay District are required to post the results of their compliance inspection in the form of a sign provided by the public health inspector and based on the results of the inspection.
Purpose
DineWise informs the public of the condition of the food premises at the time of the last inspection.
For the customer, DineWise provides point-of-sale information they can use to make decisions about where they want to eat.
What the public will see
Following a compliance inspection, the inspector will post one of the following signs.
The sign posted will reflect the grade the premises received, based on the results of the most recent inspection.
Questions?
Contact a public health inspector to learn more about the signs.
