Starting July 1, Albertans will be able to check the cleanliness of all of the province's restaurants online.
Inspection reports that find any violations of the province's food regulations — appropriate hand washing, food preparation and storage — will be posted on the websites of health regions.
The reports will be listed by restaurant name and will include information about the past five inspections, said John Tuckwell, a spokesman for Alberta Health and Wellness, Thursday.
In 2006, the Calgary Health Region began posting restaurant closures on its website, and Edmonton's Capital Health Region provided diners with inspection information over the telephone, but July 1 is the deadline for all nine regions to begin publishing the reports.
Under provincial law, restaurant inspections happen before the opening of a new facility and then every four to six months following that— or more often if violations are found.
