PUBLIC SURVEY OPEN
The survey is open to the community until May 30. Don't miss your chance to tell us what you think. We need your input to make the Food Premise Ratings program a success!
The Food Premise Ratings is a program that tells the public about the results of an inspection. The goal
of this program is to improve food safety practices, reduce the risk of foodborne
illness, and raise consumer awareness of food safety.
A food premise is a place where you buy food, such as a restaurant, fast food place,
convenience store, or grocery store.

As it is now, all retail food premises must follow
the safe food handling law. Food premise operators must know and follow these
rules at all times. Public Health Inspectors regularly inspect food premises to check
that the premises are following these rules at the time of inspection.
The ratings system will not change these rules. A Ratings program puts a score or
colour to the inspection results to help you quickly see how well a food premise
followed the law at the time the premise was inspected. The score or colour is then
posted on the Health Unit website and at the food premise.
In order to develop a program that will meet the needs of Windsor-Essex County
residents, we are asking all members of our community for their input. We have
already consulted with food premise operators, public health inspectors, and now
community residents.
This is your chance to tell us what you think.
