> An example of good enforcement is the UK's scores on the doors, where the public can see what the standard is, and if they fall below a certain level, the food place is fined/shutdown/other until it improves.

> Another good example is NCAP ratings.

Worth noting that NCAP and Scores on the Doors are not regulators. NCAP is an industry body; SotDs is run by TripAdvisor.

I think the food hygiene ratings are a regulatory thing - https://ratings.food.gov.uk - places are required to show their stickers by law.

I'm not sure how the Scores on the Doors website, which is at least related to TripAdvisor, fits into all of this...

It shows the ratings that are provided by food standards inspectors.

Ah, ok, but so does the official government website. I'd never heard of Scores on the Doors until yesterday.

The restaurants are proactively inspected but nobody is checking that the sticker on the door matches the real rating unless you do it yourself*. Some companies have been taking the piss.

* Which you can at the website you listed.

Make the sticker text + QR link to a website so anyone with a smartphone could verify them if they wanted.

This could work for products too: have webshops add links to verdicts of inspections and also put them on the boxes (in link and QR code form).
