Huron Perth, ON – On Wednesday June 14, Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) will launch Check What We Inspect, a webpage that provides health inspection reports of local food premises. These include restaurants, mobile food trucks, catering premises, grocery stores and rental halls. All food premises will be required to display the Check What We Inspect signage at the entrance to the premises.

“Disclosing inspection results online allows the public to access inspection reports more readily,” says Lori Holmes, Public Health Manager. “When supporting local businesses, look for Check What We Inspect signage at the entrance to know that the premises is inspected.”

The Check What We Inspect webpage can be accessed at www.hpph.ca/check. The public will be able to view a small portion of each inspection report, including the date of inspection and any infractions observed. Inspection reports from January 1, 2023 onward are gradually being added to the webpage.

Leading up to the launch, inspection staff have been working closely with food premises operators by providing written updates, conducting a survey, and hand delivering an information package and signage.

HPPH is moving inspection reports online in phases. All other premises inspected by HPPH, including recreational water facilities (pools and spas), small drinking water systems, personal service settings (tattoo shops, hair salons) and childcare facilities, as well as infection prevention and control investigations and lapses, will be added to the webpage in the future.

Check What We Inspect enhances the existing disclosure program at HPPH. Beach water quality and convictions of tobacco and vaping product retailers are already available on the HPPH website. The public has always been able to access any public health inspection report by contacting the health unit and requesting a copy.
