Since the begining of 2023, the results of the latest food inspections in Berlin have to be displayed at the entrance to restaurants, supermarkets, canteens and snack bars.

The Lebensmittelüberwachungstransparenzbarometer (go on then, you try saying it!) actually translates into Food Monitoring Transparency Barometer. The scale ranges from red on the right (poor) to green on the left (good).

Inspections are un-announced, although there is right to request a re-visit costing anything from €49 to €900. Fines for non-display can be up to €10,000

Details will also shortly be posted on the website.
