description Inspection of restaurants and education of food handlers are two methods used by regulatory agencies to ensure food served in restaurants is safe to eat. The variation which exists in the implementation of these programs suggests that the programs' effectiveness is lacking or is not clear. Recommendations based on the Community Health Practice Guideline methodology, the results of a critical review of the literature, the results of a survey of practices, and expert opinion were developed. The recommendations include: continuation of routine inspections at a frequency of one to two inspections per year per restaurant and the continuation of education programs. The evidence on which these recommendations are based is scant and more research is needed to ensure programs are needed, effective and efficient. L'inspection des restaurants et la formation des personnes préposées à la manutention des aliments sont deux méthodes utilisées par les organismes de réglementation en vue de s'assurer que la nourriture servie dans les restaurants ne présente aucun danger pour la santé. Les différences relevées dans la façon de mettre ces programmes en application laissent penser que leur efficacité n'est pas aussi complète qu'elle le devrait ou qu'elle est mal définie. On a élaboré des recommandations fondées sur l'utilisation de la méthode créée dans le cadre du projet Directives en matière de pratiques de santé communautaire, sur les résultats d'une analyse critique des textes parus, sur les résultats d'une enquête touchant les pratiques de santé communautaire et sur l'opinion d'experts. Les recommandations comprennent la poursuite des inspections de routine, au rythme d'une ou deux chaque année par restaurant, et la continuation des programmes de formation. Les preuves sur lesquelles se fondent ces recommandations sont minces, et il faudra continuer les recherches si l'on veut s'assurer que les programmes sont utiles, efficaces et efficients.
