About the food safety rating system

Food service establishments receive one of four food safety ratings to provide the public with more information about the level of food safety practices, helping them make informed decisions about eating out. If a food service establishment has a Public Health permit, it meets minimum food safety standards to operate.

The four food safety ratings are:

  • Excellent
    Consistently followed high standards for safe food handling.
  • Good
    Exceeded the minimum requirements for safe food handling.
  • Okay
    Met the minimum requirements for safe food handling.
  • Needs to improve
    Was either closed within the last 90 days or needed multiple return inspections to correct unsafe food handling.

A food business rating is determined by the trend of food safety practices over time and scale of performance. For more information about the rating system see food safety rating system.
