Why Food Safety Scores Matter
Food safety scores are essential for public health. They help keep patrons safe from foodborne illnesses. A recent study revealed that restaurants with higher safety scores tend to have more loyal customers. When diners see high scores, they feel more confident about their choices, leading to repeat visits.
To get a sense of how local favorites stack up, it’s worth noting that eateries with scores above 95 create a positive mindset for both the restaurant staff and patrons. As more people react positively on social media — sharing their experiences and dining safely adds to the restaurant’s reputation.
