Hygiene: a Paris restaurant on three is well noted – Why doctor?

According to a survey, only 34% of Parisian establishments have achieved a level of hygiene “good.” Avignon, the notes are much better with 62% good results.

This paper does not reassure lovers who dined in a Paris restaurant for Valentine’s Day. From 12 July to 31 December 2015 of hygiene inspections in 1500 restaurants in the capital and 200 in Avignon has been made. The results are available on the website of the Ministry of Agriculture. Data analyzed by the National Association of Consumers and Users Defence (CLCV).

Conclusion in Paris, only 34% of institutions have achieved a level of hygiene “good.” A little more than half got a “acceptable” level and an 8% level of hygiene “to improve”. And for those who already have some ideas in mind, know that the most poorly rated restaurants from the point of view of hygiene are “all types”: French, Italian, Asian, Fast Food, etc.
It seems however that restaurants serving French cuisine are more concerned with health problems than other institutions (51%).

Avignon twice better than Paris

Fortunately for the rest of France, Paris is not representative. In Avignon, the better grades are in effect: 62% obtained a level of hygiene “good”, 37% an “acceptable” level and 1% level “to improve”

results published in the context of an increase, since 2002, the share of food-borne infections (TIAC) ​​declared commercial catering relative to other food places (home, catering). According to the Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS) in 2013, the commercial food comprised primarily of the TIAC (39% against 33% in catering and 28% at home).
Three pathogens most frequently involved were Staphylococcus aureus (31%), Bacillus cereus (23%) and Salmonella (11%).

The little transparent restaurateurs

Finally, concerning the provision of results, some restaurateurs were transparent by posting them on their storefront. Thus, in Paris, of 188 surveys, only 7 institutions have affixed the QR code (which once referred flashed on site) on their front.
In the end, few consumers are able to know where they put their feet when they venture into an eating …

In a statement the CLCV shows like “a mandatory posting of the results of hygiene controls in the form of a sufficient size and logo present on the front of all the restaurants in France, as exists in the city of New York and in Britain, for example. “
But the association also calls for” an extension of this system to other facilities, including canteens, bakeries, butchers, greengrocers, supermarkets and hypermarkets, etc. ” with “more controls and sanctions in case of breaches,” says the association.
