There are a lot of problems with any restaurant inspection disclosure system like name and shame, along with the scores on doors program, being used by the New South Wales Food Authority or any jurisdiction.

But the Primary Industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson, gets it right when she says, "This sends a clear message that businesses, regardless of how big or small, will not escape being publicly named if they fail to comply with food safety regulations. The public has the right to know who the offenders are, especially when the majority of restaurants and retailers do meet the high food standards required in this state."

The challenge is to make such systems better.

(NSW is in Australia and includes Sydney.)

According to AAP, a NSW McDonald’s and a Sumo Salad fast food outlet are among the latest additions to the name and shame register for breaching hygiene rules.

Domino’s Pizza in Cambridge Park, Penrith, Pizza Hut in Orange, the McDonald’s in Yass and Sumo Salad in Macquarie Park made the list due to a lack of hygienic cleanliness standards.

Coles Express in Willoughby was also placed on the list for selling out of date products.

Businesses face fines of up to $1,320 for hygiene related offences.
