From takeaways and pubs, to cafes and restaurants, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspects food hygiene levels to ensure the establishments are up to standard.
Inspectors rate establishments in the below areas with the FSA definitions included:
Hygienic food handling – Hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage
Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building – Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building (including having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control) to enable good food hygiene
Management of food safety – System or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future
Each area is given a rating from zero to five which then factors towards the overall rating of the eatery.
Further details on the individual food hygiene reports can be found on the Food Standards Agency website.
