Eat Safe Star Rating Guide
All licensed food businesses within the Fraser Coast region will be issued with a star rating based on an Eat Safe Audit undertaken by Council.
A food business can receive one of the following star ratings:
 |
5 stars - Excellent Performer Fully compliant with the Food Act 2006 and overall very high standard of food safety management practices. |
|
4 stars - Very Good Performer High level of compliance with the Food Act 2006 and overall good standard of food safety management practices. |
|
3 stars - Good Performer Good level of compliance with the Food Act 2006 and overall acceptable standard of food safety management practices. |
|
2 stars - Poor Performer Low level of compliance with the Food Act 2006 and a poor overall standard of food safety management practices. |
| No stars - Non-Compliant Performer A general failure to comply with the Food Act 2006 with major effort required to rectify issues. |
Only businesses that receive a 3-star rating or more can choose to publicly display their star rating.
There are a number of reasons why a food business may not display a star rating.
Reasons for not displaying a star rating
Eat Safe Fraser Coast only applies to food businesses that are required to hold a permanent food licence and are located within the Fraser Coast region.
A food business may not display a food safety star rating because that business has:
- received a food safety rating of less than three stars;
- received a food safety rating of three or more stars but has not agreed to have its star rating displayed;
- not paid the annual food licence fee to Council; or
- recently opened as a new business or changed owners and has not yet been audited.
