Eat Safe Brisbane Food Safety Rating Scheme

A new way to measure food safety standards in Brisbane.

Eat Safe Brisbane is a rating scheme that assesses food safety and hygiene standards.

As part of Eat Safe Brisbane, every licensed food business in Brisbane receives a food safety star rating, based on compliance with the Food Act 2006, the Food Safety Standard (FSANZ) and good management practices. Food safety audits are mandatory for all licensed food businesses in Brisbane.

A food business can receive either no star, two, three, four or five stars. Businesses that demonstrate high levels of food safety will receive three or more stars and can choose to display their food safety star rating onsite and online on Council's website. Trading details for every food business in Brisbane (name, location, phone number and licence category) are listed on the website.

Having a Food Safety Supervisor is a legal requirement of the Food Act 2006. This requirement has been in effect since 1 July 2008.

Guidelines prepared by Queensland Health encourage Food Safety Supervisors to undertake training in food safety and management practices. However, this is not a legal requirement.

Council strongly recommends that Food Safety Supervisors undertake training to provide a higher level of protection for the food business. If you would like further information regarding Food Safety Supervisor training please contact your industry association or a registered training organisation through the National Training Information Service (NTIS).
