Scores on Doors
Scores on Doors is the NSW Government's hygiene and food safety rating system that enables consumers to make an informed choice about where to eat.
Following an inspection, businesses will be given a certificate showing their score. Ratings range from three stars, indicating a good level of food safety and hygiene compliance, to five stars, indicating an excellent level of food safety and hygiene compliance.
Any business with major hygiene and food safety issues will not be issued with a certificate to display. They may also be issued with a warning or improvement notices directing them to address the problem. They can also be fined and appear on the NSW Food Authority Name and Shame register. In the worst cases, a premises may be closed.
