Confirm the food-handling permit, premises plans and pre-opening review with the responsible Alberta health authority. Record the operator, premises, permitted activities and approval conditions; review changes before starting new processes or mobile/catering service.
Authority explanation · Government of Alberta ↗For activities subject to certification, at least one person in care and control must hold an Alberta-accepted food-safety certificate. With six or more food handlers on site, including serving staff, a certified person must be present; with five or fewer, that person may be off site. Check activity exemptions and inspector directions.
Authority explanation · Alberta Health Services ↗Keep the food-specific cooking method and any validated alternative with the recipe. The intact-beef starter uses 63°C for four minutes; do not substitute a three-minute method from another province without validation.
Guidance · Government of Alberta ↗This example uses ProCafe’s cooking starters for this jurisdiction. In the app, record the actual food and batch, temperature, holding time and any corrective action. Read the sources and review the method before adopting it.
Authority explanation · Government of Alberta ↗The business obtains its permits, recognized training and process validations. ProCafe helps document the work while the relevant authority determines the requirements.
