The National Health Surveillance Agency ( ANVISA ) has approved a proposal that provides for categorization of food services . The intention of the regulator is to inform consumers about the cleanliness of the bar, the snack bar , or restaurant that they frequent. Establishments can be classified into three categories : A, B and C , with A being the best rating .
Initially , 2,500 establishments of cities with games of the World Cup in 2014 and some municipalities concerned will voluntarily participate in the pilot project , which will be applied during the Cup . Each participating city chose the criteria for establishments participating in the project. Some cities choose to evaluate locations serving regional dishes , decided to evaluate other by geographical criteria such as location near mall or subway , for São Paulo .
The Brazilian proposal is based on similar experience in foreign cities like Los Angeles and New York , USA , and London , England. Hygienic and sanitary criteria will be evaluated by the health monitoring of each municipality . The bill extends until August 31 , when it will be evaluated .
