Look behind the restaurant menu

Following a trial in commercial catering establishments in Paris and Avignon, from 3rd April 2017 hygiene checks carried out in the food sector will be published online on the site  www.alim-confiance.gouv.fr


This will cover restaurants, canteens, abattoirs, supermarkets, markets and other food outlets and the data will be available online for a period of one year from the date of the last inspection.
The website will have an interactive map of France allowing you to search for a particular establishment by name or address. It will also be possible to filter the results by category of establishment or to browse the map.
The result will show:
• the name and address of the business, • the date of the last inspection, • the level of hygiene with 4 levels: "very satisfactory", "satisfactory", "to improve", "to be corrected urgently". In the latter case the authority may order the closure of the premises pending corrective action.
