Food Safety Rating Scheme - Food Service Business Survey |
Food Safety Rating Scheme - Food Service Business Survey
The Food Safety Rating Scheme (FSRS) is commonly known as `scores-on doors’, and is used in South Australia as a visual indicator to inform consumers how well the individual restaurants and cafes in the scheme are complying with food safety standards. Participation in the Scheme is voluntary both by councils and the food businesses.
At this stage 21 councils are part of the Scheme covering around 70% of the SA population. Where councils are participating, eligible food businesses are assigned a score as part of routine inspection by council Environmental Health Officers (EHOs). The score is converted into a star rating based on technical criteria. A business which complies with the standards is awarded 5 stars, 4 stars or 3 stars and a certificate which it can display for the general public.

- 5 stars - Excellent compliance

Some business will be unrated due to poor compliance therefore no certificate will be issued to them. For more information on Food Safety Rating please refer to the following link
