About inspections in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change (Food Safety Program) inspects food premises throughout Nova Scotia. Because the program is province-wide, this page gathers results from communities across Nova Scotia into one searchable list — restaurants, grocers, and other food businesses alike. Look up a specific place above, or read our guides to understand what an inspection result means.

How Nova Scotia’s results work

Results are based on official public health inspections. Depending on the jurisdiction you may see colour-coded placards or a numerical score — our placards and scores guide explains what each result means, and our guide to checking inspections in Canada covers how the data is published.
