The Council is responsible for inspecting and registering all food premises in Rodney and the Hibiscus Coast. Food premises include dairies, petrol stations, supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants.
Food premises are allocated a food grading and certificate, which must be clearly displayed for the public to view as they enter the premise.
In an effort to raise awareness about the food grading system, the council publishes the names of all food premises and their gradings below.

What do the grades mean?
Premises are given one of four grades A, B, D & E: (O indicates pending). There is no ‘average’ standard; C is not given as a grade. Food premises are either high quality or below quality in standard.
A Grades are given to premises that are achieving a high level of compliance with the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974.
B Grades are given to premises that are achieving a moderate level of compliance with the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974.
D Grades are given to premises that are not achieving a satisfactory level of compliance with the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974.
E Grades are given to premises that have serious deficiencies in their level of compliance with the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974.
Exempt premises
There are some large outlets that have their own food safety and quality assurance programmes in place, which have been approved and audited by the Ministry of Health. View the list of exempt premises here.
