Food Safety - Scores on Doors of Gold Coast Eateries

The Gold Coast City Council is considering falling in line with 'score of the door' schemes being introduced in Brisbane, Sydney and Logan.   A scheme begun by the NSW government this week requires eateries to display a cleanliness score of A, B or C.

Brisbane City Council will later this year introduce a five-star rating, with eateries achieving three or more stars invited to display the score, while Logan City Council is preparing its own rating system.

The proposal has divided the city's restaurant owners, with some enthusiastic about bringing the scheme here, while others have described it as over the top.
