What DineSafe covers
Toronto Public Health inspects eating and drinking establishments under the Ontario Food Premises Regulation (493/17). The City says the details of inspections from the past two years are reported on its DineSafe site and can be downloaded from the City's open data server. Every establishment must continually and prominently post its most recent notice, unaltered, at or near the main entrance.
Three infraction levels
The City classifies infractions as crucial, significant or minor. The notice type follows from the most serious findings: only minor or none gives a Pass; significant infractions give a Conditional Pass with a re-inspection in 24 to 48 hours; uncorrected crucial infractions give a Closed notice.
