Ratings – from 0 to 5 – are based on the establishment’s handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities, and how food safety is managed.

During an inspection, officers will check how hygienically the food is handled, prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored; the physical condition of the business including cleanliness, ventilation, pest control and other facilities; and how the business manages ways of keeping food safe, looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained.

A 0 rating is at the bottom of the scale, which means urgent improvement is necessary.

Businesses which are given low ratings must make urgent or major improvements to hygiene standards.
