Star rating information
Businesses receive a food safety star rating at the end of a food safety audit conducted by an authorised Brisbane City Council Environmental Health Officer. A food business will receive one of the following star ratings:
Stars | Level of compliance with the Food Act 2006 |
---|---|
![]() |
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 standard 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 with more effort required |
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 three or more stars can choose to publicly display their star rating. There are a number of reasons why a food business may not display a star rating.
One star rating
In order to communicate a non-compliant rating to food businesses, Council chose to remove the one star rating and implement a no star rating.
