A 2020 scientific review by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) estimates 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness occurs every year in the UK. This is up from the 2009 estimate of approximately one million.
Never underestimate how useful it is to know the 'scores on the doors'
We worked with the Food Standards Agency to standardise the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in 2011, which helps the public decide where to eat out, or buy food. The ratings provide clear data about hygiene standards achieved at the last inspection. Businesses are awarded a score of 0-5.
Food Standards Scotland operates a Pass or Improvement required scheme with an additional Eat Safe award for those which exceed legal standards.
Inspections are carried out regularly by a Environmental Health Officer from the business's local council.
The EHO will examine and assess:
And they even look at the types of customers frequenting the business, e.g. vulnerable groups.
In Northern Ireland and Wales food businesses must display their current sticker in a prominent position.
Towards the end of 2022, the process of introducing legislation to require this in England was "paused". The FSA are still keen to pursue this with the new government. We will monitor and provide updates on any progress here.
Food Standards Agency definitions are :
In Scotland there are no current plans to make display compulsory.
Food Standards Scotland definitions are :
The Scottish Eat Safe Award makes it easy for consumers to know which restaurants, cafés, takeaways and food shops strive for exceptional food hygiene standards and go above and beyond the legal requirement.
The Award is open to all types of food outlets, from casual cafés to five star restaurants. Outlets are assessed by their Local Authority Food Safety Officer for the award during their regular food hygiene inspections.
Some premises have additional ratings which are provided by TripAdvisor.
