Oyen Farmers' Market has been inspected once by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health), on August 8, 2025. The most recent inspection, on August 8, 2025, recorded 3 infractions.
No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food source, labelling and allergens.
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.
Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk
Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.
Recorded once on August 8, 2025. For example:
Is all food in this facility from an approved source and/or properly labelled?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on August 8, 2025. For example:
Does the facility have a valid permit and does the facility operate in compliance with the conditions of that permit, or is the facility awaiting approval prior to operation?
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 once on August 8, 2025. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this farmers' market (Critical)?
