The NSW Government is looking at bringing in a new star rating system for all retailers, which will tell you how a food outlet is performing on a range of things, including food safety.

Australian Retailers Association’s Paul Zahra told Deborah Knight he “understands why the systems will work in food”, but he is not sure it will work for all of retail.

“In retail, that’s a little bit more complex. It is so subjective when it comes to service,” said Mr Zahra.
