Sydney's filthiest restaurants and takeaways exposed
The NSW Food Authority has named and shamed some of Sydney’s grottiest restaurants.
Offenders include Criniti's on the wharf at Woollomooloo, Event Cinemas at Burwood and Red Rooster at Seven Hills.
The list available on online is extensive and can be accessed on this link:

The NSW Food Authority updates the list weekly.
Restaurants pinged for filth face massive fines.
According to the authority, 288 fines are issued to the city's dirtiest eateries weekly.
Just in the last 30 days, 50 Sydney restaurants have been issued a penalty notice related to food safety.
But the biggest punishment of all is getting publically exposed on the list.
Significantly, the grottiest suburbs, the ones with the filthiest restaurants that had incurred the biggest fines, include Chatswood, Merrylands and Mascot.
Ben Lees, the manager of the Local Government Unit at NSW Food Authority says it’s all about providing a public service and giving the community what it needs.
To put it simply, he said people have a right to know that the food they are eating is safe.
“It's extremely important that customers can go on Name and Shame to see the businesses that got it wrong,” Lees told Yahoo 7 News.
And the councils are totally onside,
Paul Vogt from Bayside Council concurs. And he says restaurants that don’t get their house in order and clean themselves up will be shut down.
"The safety of the public is foremost in our mind and we don't compromise on that, and we'll take whatever enforcement action that is required,” Vogt told Yahoo 7 News.
“If that means having to close a premises down then we will not hesitate doing that.”
