Another eight restaurants have been added to the NSW food register, set-up to shame businesses for poor hygiene and un-safe practices.
A Central Coast McDonalds restaurant is the latest to be added to the Name and Shame list.
The list was established in the hopes that it would encourage better food safety.
The outlet on the F3 at Jilliby has been fined nearly $700, after checks revealed evidence of rats in the food handling area.
The website is already being heralded a success, with 25 thousand people logging on to check whether their local food outlets are obeying the law.
A Penrith bakery and Sydney Chinese restaurant bring to 46 the number of restaurants now on the register.
NSW Primary Industries Minister Ian MacDonald says the website naming dodgy outlets has so far had 25,000 hits.
“This of course is a small percentage of restaurants in NSW, but I think it’s good for consumers to know those ones that have failed the safety test.”
