Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Restaurant and Food Service Inspection in Canada
Restaurant and food service inspection across Canada is generally carried
out by provincial governments, municipalities or regional health
authorities. If you suspect that your health has been compromised because
of food, contact your family physician or local health authority who will
follow-up with the appropriate treatment. You can report any concerns about
restaurant food to your local inspection authority. If they determine that food
(rather than on-site preparation) appears to be the likely cause of illness,
they will contact the CFIA to initiate an investigation.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency provides protection for consumers from
deceptive practices in restaurants. Any claim made in connection with
restaurant food offered for sale must be true and accurate. If you suspect that
restaurant food has been misrepresented to you in an advertisement, on a menu,
or by restaurant staff, you can contact the CFIAs Retail Food Program.
