What type of entities are the boarding houses serving less than 10 exempt from?

Boarding houses serving fewer than 10 occupants are typically exempt from certain food safety regulations. This exemption is designed to apply to smaller operations where the scale and risk of foodborne illness may be deemed lower compared to larger facilities. In Canada, food safety laws and regulations are often tailored to the level of risk presented by an establishment's food handling practices, size, and the volume of food service.

By exempting smaller boarding houses from stringent food safety regulations, the aim is to reduce the burden on these entities while still ensuring a basic level of food safety is maintained. However, it is important to note that this does not mean they are completely free from any responsibility regarding food safety; rather, they may not be subject to all the same regulations that larger establishments are.

Smaller operations are still expected to follow general food safety practices such as safe food handling and sanitation to protect the health of their clients, but the specific regulations enforced on larger entities may not apply to them.
