Big changes are coming to food safety regulations in Saskatchewan. The provincial government has proposed updates to The Food Safety Regulations that will impact quick-service restaurants and retail food prep areas.

Key changes include:

  • More flexibility on food preparation temperature requirements that were previously unnecessarily restrictive;

  • New mandatory food safety certification for all employees in food prep areas within a set timeframe.

RCC is gathering member feedback as we work with the government to ensure practical, business-friendly regulations.
