As of July 1, the inspection, compliance and enforcement functions from several provincial government departments will come together under Nova Scotia Environment.

Departments involved in this consolidation include the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Health and Wellness, the Department of Agriculture, Nova Scotia Environment, and the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture.

As a consumer, most of us don't give food safety much thought – unless something goes wrong.

There are several ways to get more education on protecting yourself when it comes to what you eat. Whether it is in the home or eating out, knowing will help to keep you healthy.
