I know someone who has a restaurant (complete with tablecloths and real glasses even) and when health and safety find a problem there, he's not obliged to publish that anywhere. There is also a food & safety course that people who work in food prep are supposed to take but to my knowledge nobody's asked his staff if they have that course. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Bavaria you need a health certificate to prove that you're not a chronic carrier of salmonella or tuberculosis (and maybe other bugs, can't remember) if you're professionally preparing food. At least it used to be like that in my day. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But TPTB are obliged to publish, for example, here is the offical link for Bavaria: Lebensmittelinformationen nach § 40 Abs. 1a Nr. 2 LFGB (bayern.de) Here is an example of a report on that web page: Deepl-translation of the problem: "Violation: Industrial hygiene/cleaning deficiencies; pest control deficiencies; temperature violations; personnel hygiene deficiencies; placing food unfit for consumption on the market; placing food produced/treated under unsanitary conditions/conditions on the market. Product: All food produced, stored and provided on the premises, e.g. chicken meat sliced thawed, bean sprouts, pork ribs, fish fillets, shrimp, spices, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, carrots" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Jan 2022 And here, as another example of the duty to publish results, the pages for NRW: Lebensmitteltransparenz - Informationen der letzten 90 Tage (nrw.de) An example of a report on that page: And here the deepl translation: "Serious hygienic deficiencies, abundant mouse droppings in various operating areas, open mouse poison and 2 dead mice in the guest room were found. The floor was significantly contaminated with loose poison, mouse droppings, and dark, greasy debris, particularly in the perimeter and corner areas, and under, behind, and between fixtures. The floor and grate baskets were unclean, covered with mold in places. The wall tiles were contaminated with dark dirt deposits." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
