Why are food hygiene ratings used?

Food hygiene ratings are crucial in ensuring the safety and quality of food establishments throughout the United Kingdom.

These ratings, displayed prominently in windows and available online, provide essential information for consumers to assess the hygiene standards of restaurants, cafes and canteens across the country.

Trained food safety officers visit establishments unannounced and evaluate various aspects such as food handling, cleanliness and management practices.

Consumers rely on these ratings to make informed decisions when choosing where to dine, ensuring they select establishments that meet high standards of hygiene.

A higher rating indicates that an establishment has demonstrated excellent practices in areas such as food preparation, storage and cleanliness, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and promoting public health.
