The Alberta Food Regulation details requirements that a food establishment must follow to ensure prevention of health hazards and the protection of the public. The regulation  lists requirements regarding temperature control, maintenance, employee health & hygiene, cleaning & sanitizing, standards for equipment as well as record keeping tasks.

Like most Provinces the Alberta Food Regulation lists food handler training requirements as part of the legislation.
