To many, the severity of the impact on scoring a low food hygiene rating or being found with food safety/hygiene offences on a food business, is a blur. In a world where the internet controls our lives, in hospitality especially, reputation precedes a business. You would be lying if you said you didn’t visit Trip Advisor before making an informed decision on where to eat. So, let’s set straight the consequences of a bad hygiene rating on your food business.

Most food businesses fear that dreaded visit from the Environmental Health Officer (EHO), especially as they turn up unannounced. As a food business operator, you are legally responsible for ensuring the food you’re providing is fit for consumption by the general public.

Any business that prepares, produces or handles food, whether supplied, sold, or consumed, is required by the law to have a rating. It’s an indication of how well the business is doing in compliance with food hygiene laws and standards.
