A Brighton restaurant has recently been fined $35,000 for breaching food safety rules after a foreign object was found in a customer’s meal.
This case highlights Bayside City Council’s commitment to keeping the community safe by ensuring local businesses adhere to strict food safety standards.
Generally Bayside food businesses have a high level of compliance, but where breaches are detected, Council takes appropriate enforcement action all aiming to ensure safe food is provided to the community.
Council’s Environmental Health service inspect every one of Bayside’s 785 registered food premises and investigate all customer food safety complaints to ensure compliance with standards.
Unannounced visits ensure business ownership registrations are current and legislation requirements related to selling food are being followed.
