Understand food safety ratings so you can dine out at local cafes and restaurants with peace of mind.
The star rating scheme is an initiative that rates businesses on their food safety compliance.
Every licensed food business in Brisbane receives an Eat Safe Brisbane star rating from Council.
The star rating reflects how well the business complies with the Food Act 2006 and its overall food safety standards.
This means that when you eat out, you can enjoy your food knowing we’ve already checked the venue for you.
The business demonstrates full compliance with the Food Act 2006.
The business demonstrates a high level of compliance with the Food Act 2006.
The business demonstrates a good level of compliance with the Food Act 2006.
The business demonstrates a low level of compliance with the Food Act 2006 with more effort required.
The business demonstrates a general failure to comply with the Food Act 2006 with major effort required to rectify the issue.
Businesses with a non-compliant star rating (2 stars or less) are not eligible to display their rating. A business may also not be displaying a star rating because it doesn’t have one. Not all food businesses qualify for the Eat Safe Brisbane program. Only licensable food businesses receive a star rating.
Public display of star ratings is not mandatory. Businesses can choose not to disclose their ratings.
