Food from A to D

What class do you dine? People eating in Beijing's many restaurants will now know right away due to an online food hygiene rating system.

As part of the city's campaign for cleaner restaurants, the Beijing Health Bureau has developed the online database so diners can check the hygiene standards of local restaurants that are graded from A (excellent) to D (not qualified).

The rating system has been in effect for four years across China, but because of the Olympics more attention has been paid to the hygiene standards of Beijing eateries.
