Inspection reports
We release inspection reports publicly as a service to Yukoners. This is in line with other Canadian jurisdictions and meets with the government’s commitment to transparency. We never display private information on this web site.
The online report for food establishments and personal service establishments show:
- the name and address of the establishment;
- the type of inspection (routine, follow-up, complaint); and
- identifies the infractions (non-compliances) found during the inspection.
We provide the owner or operator with “hand-typed” comments to help them correct the infraction. We do not include these comments in the public report.
How to read inspection reports
Consider the nature of the non-compliances and if these are found often.
The reports reflect the conditions found at the time of the inspection. Don't interpret the status of a particular facility based on a single inspection. Most establishments make the identified changes as soon as possible.
Closure orders
We issue closure orders when:
- we identify an immediate risk to public health; or
- there are ongoing compliance issues.
Check the Establishment Closures listing for current facility closures.
