Yelp is broadening its partnership with Seattle-based food tech startup Hazel Analytics to expand health ratings on its platform, the company announced on Thursday. The two companies are working together to further expand Yelp’s health grades information on restaurant listings. Yelp first partnered with Hazel Analytics last year to display inspection details for restaurants on its platform.

Hazel Analytics now provides the hygiene data on nearly 700,000 Yelp pages, and lists information about health inspection jurisdictions representing nearly 70% of the U.S. population. This feature incorporates data from health departments across 48 states, up from four states previously. For the first time, the feature will bring Canadian health scores to Yelp, with data from Toronto and Vancouver.
