Nova Scotia has one of the most thorough food safety systems in the country.
Consumers seek assurances that the food they purchase is safe and of high quality. The department must, therefore, address issues pertaining to production and product standards, food labelling and traceability, monitoring and inspection, bio-security protocols, food handling education and testing.
Getting Your Event Catered?
You can verify that your caterer has a valid Food Establishment Permit by viewing our Online Food Inspection Reports website.
