A restaurant inspection report no longer ends with a list of violations. In Hyderabad, it now comes with a score. Over the past few weeks, food safety teams of Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) have been carrying out a series of inspections at restaurants, cafes and food establishments across its jurisdiction. But unlike conventional food safety drives, officials have introduced a rating-based system that seeks to quantify hygiene standards and publicly disclose how establishments fare.The change means eateries are being judged not merely on whether violations exist, but on how well they comply with food safety norms. “We wanted to do something different. Just as there is a Michelin star rating for taste, we want to create a hygiene rating. That is the idea,” said G. Srijana, Commissioner, Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC).
