Official record from Nova Scotia →

Inspection summary

REID'S FARM MARKET has been inspected 3 times by Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change (Food Safety Program) since November 3, 2025. The most recent inspection, on September 22, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 4 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct food-handling risks.

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 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 once on September 22, 2026. For example: 47(2)(a) - OPERATOR FAILING TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOOD SAFETY INFORMATION TO ENABLE PURCHASER TO HANDLE, STORE, PROCESS OR PREPARE 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 22, 2026. For example: 29(2)(a) - INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, & SANITATION PROGRAM.
