Inspection summary

Drumheller Health Centre - Food Service has been inspected 8 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since April 15, 2024. The most recent inspection, on October 2, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

3 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 4 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct food-handling risks.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on October 2, 2026. For example: Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 8, 2025. For example: Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Critical)?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on October 2, 2026. For example: Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 4, 2026. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this food facility (Critical)?

      • The perimeter of the walk-in cooler and freezer recently built had green tape holding the panels beside the wall and ceiling above the equipment. This is not an approved permanent material for constructing or repairing surfaces in the kitchen. The tape may trap moisture overtime and may not provide an airtight or thermal seal for the equipment. Remove the green tape and the panels should be finished using permanent, food-safe trim pieces and NSF-certified, mold-resistant silicone sealant to create a seamless, smooth joint to ensure that all surfaces in a food facility are smooth, impervious, non-porous, and easily cleanable.
