What is DineSafe Durham?
DineSafe Durham is Durham Region's Food Safety Inspection Disclosure program which
gives you quick and easy access to inspection results. Durham Food Safety Inspection
Summary Signs posted on-site will reflect the most recent inspection.
The By-law requires food establishment operators to post the most recent DineSafe
Durham inspection summary sign. The most recent inspection report has to be available
for the Public Health Inspector and public to read. After each inspection, every
food establishment receives one of three coloured summary signs Green (PASS), Yellow
(CONDITIONAL PASS) or Red (CLOSED).
