Restaurants

Food service establishments are locations where food is commercially prepared and does not include private homes where food is prepared for private use. 

The City inspects food service establishments:

• on a routine basis
  
• as the result of a complaint
  
• to investigate foodborne illnesses

In order to correct violations, the City may:

• issue a written deficiency order
  
• suspend or withdraw an operating permit
  
• deem conditions or premises insanitary
  
• proceed with a prosecution

All closures and convictions are legal processes under Manitoba Provincial Food and Food Handling Establishments Regulation No. 339/88R and City of Winnipeg Food Service Establishment Bylaw

Deficiency orders can be appealed under certain circumstances.  The procedure to file an appeal is listed on the deficiency order.
