Cyberabad civic body to introduce hygiene rating system for restaurants

The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation is launching a hygiene rating system for local restaurants to quantify food safety standards. Establishments will be scored based on inspections, with results intended to be publicly disclosed.
Why it matters
Represents a shift in public health policy from punitive enforcement to a transparent, consumer-facing rating system.
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.
