Cleveland eyes restaurant grading system

Cleveland eyes restaurant grading system

02/07/2010

CLEVELAND -- Health officials in Cleveland are looking at placing stickers in restaurant windows that inform consumers about how well the establishments comply with food safety codes.

The stickers have been adopted in several U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and Columbus, Ohio.

Cuyahoga County Health Commissioner Terry Allan says his goal is to reduce the potential for food-borne disease in Cleveland-area restaurants.

Columbus began a color-coded grading system in 2006.

A yellow sticker means a restaurant hasn't made progress in correcting health violations.

Gail Baker, executive director of the Central Ohio Restaurant Association, says her group initially resisted the sticker program but worked with health officials to insure that businesses had enough time to fix any problems.
