How Algoma records fit into Verdine
Coverage here is source-based: Verdine uses Algoma Public Health as the public health source for Sault Ste. Marie, Elliot Lake, Blind River, Wawa, and surrounding Algoma communities.
Algoma Public Health publishes Food inspection dates, action descriptions, hazard scores, canned-comment findings, and a separate enforcement feed. Verdine treats Inspection Satisfactory as a pass only when no unresolved finding remains, keeps inspections requiring action or using unrecognized language as status unavailable, and uses exact Closure Order evidence for closure status. Numeric hazard scores remain raw source context rather than invented severity labels.
What Verdine adds for Algoma
For supported Algoma restaurants, Verdine connects search results to matched source records, organizes recent inspection history and unclassified findings, highlights repeat patterns, and provides official record links when the source identity is available.
The result is a faster read on the inspection story: what happened recently, what repeated, and which source-backed signals matter most when you are deciding where to eat.
Why source-aware context matters
Coverage routes only through official Ontario public-health-unit boundary component 2226, with no locality fallback. Canned-comment findings remain unclassified because Algoma does not publish a finding-severity taxonomy, and Verdine does not invent a conditional-pass result.
Verdine keeps regional differences visible, then translates the useful parts into a consistent restaurant profile experience.
