Inspection Reports

Lambton Public Health supports our community through inspections to: 

  • Reduce the risk of foodborne illness by preventing contamination during food preparation, storage, and handling.  
  • Reduce the transmission of communicable diseases through public health measures, and environmental conditions. 
  • Reduce the transmission of infectious diseases that affect the gastrointestinal system and are commonly transmitted through contaminated food, water, animals, or environmental exposure. 
  • Monitor conditions that ensure drinking water is safe for human consumption and free from harmful contaminants.

What we do

Conducting Public Health Inspections 

Inspections support better health outcomes by identifying and correcting risks related to communicable disease transmission, food safety, and drinking water quality.  

Public Health Investigations and Enforcement 

We investigate health risks to find the source of the problems and take action to keep the community safe. 

Understanding Community Health 

We monitor and analyze health data from inspections to understand community needs, spot trends and emerging issues, and guide actions that improve health for everyone. 

Changes to Inspection Reports 

Lambton Public Health submitted a report dated July 2, 2026 – LPH Disclosure Program Expansion Report to the local Board of Health

Lambton Public Health submitted a report dated July 2, 2026 – The changes reflect expansion to include signage at non-food premises such as personal service settings, recreational water facilities, and recreational camps that we are mandated to inspect based on complaints. A generic on-site posted sign supports access to the disclosure results.
Food premises will continue with separate colour-coded signage with the same referral to Inspection Reports online. The PASS (green) sign is typically posted, and this signals compliance with regulations despite the possibility of a few critical or non-critical infractions that may be followed up. If there are significant issues that could lead to a food-borne illness, a CONDITIONAL PASS (yellow) sign is posted, and a follow up inspection will happen within 24-72 hours. If significant issues pose a health hazard, the establishment is posted as CLOSED (red) sign.  

The former DineSafe Lambton disclosure reporting identity and By-Law was amended through By-Law #17 of 2027 – Inspection Notice By-Law to reflect all inspections and investigations under Lambton Public Health Inspection Reports.  

Results were previously posted on a disclosure website and will continue to be maintained as the primary source of access information. Clients can scan the QR code or visit the website URL to access all inspection reports. If online access is limited, clients can request the current inspection report from the operator, or call Lambton Public Health to speak with a Public Health Inspector.
