- Source: Mattilsynet’s open data on smiley inspections (data.norge.no, licence CC BY 4.0) and the business register Enhetsregisteret (Brønnøysund Register Centre, NLOD), processed by Restoradar and refreshed every morning. Restoradar is not affiliated with Mattilsynet.
- “Breaches” are grade 2 (requires follow-up) and grade 3 (serious) – what Mattilsynet publishes on its smiley site. Minor remarks (grade 1) are not counted.
- A restaurant counts once in the month, however many inspections or breaches it had; a requirement counts each restaurant once. Places that have closed since are included; places removed at their own request are not.
- “Status today” is the current smiley result of the month’s restaurants as of 7 Oct 2026: a smiling face means a later inspection found no breaches that need follow-up.
- The report is generated from the data and updated with every import; a month is reported once it is over.
