Local Councils regularly conduct food safety inspections of restaurants and other food handling businesses to ensure compliance with Food Act NSW Regulations.
Restaurants found to have unsafe or unhygienic food handling practices or premises can be fined and listed on the NSW Food Authority name and shame website - click here for more details.

The most common type of non-compliance with Food Safety Regulations and easy to prove in Court is the evidence of cockroach and rodent infestations - feaces - dead caracasses - smear marks - inadequate pest control documentation
