This week, the NSW government published a new website, promising to name and shame restaurants that failed their health inspections.

News of the website came two days after a coroner ruled that 81-year-old William Hodgins lost his life after consuming a toxic asparagus sauce early last year.

The sauce, served in an award-winning restaurant on Sydney’s North Shore, was found to have pathogens that were 10 times the toxic level.

The Government says that the listing of food outlets that have violated food laws will help people to determine safe places to eat.

So far, 12 food outlets have been listed on the Food Authority website.

But CHOICE magazine’s Christopher Zinn says that although the website is a start, the government needs to do more. He spoke with 2ser’s Belinda Merhab.
