The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality but helps people choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving information about businesses’ hygiene standards.

The scheme, run in partnership with local authorities gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

The ratings are as follows:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
