Notice Title

FS244011 - Audit of display of food hygiene ratings in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales and business telephone survey

Notice Description

The FSA wished to commission a representative audit of the display of stickers for the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) at food business premises in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales. Monitoring display rates provides evidence of consumer accessibility to ratings at point of choice and allows a comparison of the voluntary scheme in England and the statutory schemes in Wales and Northern Ireland. The FSA also wished to commission an associated telephone survey of food businesses in the three countries to assess attitudes towards and understanding of the scheme, including the use of safeguards, the perceived impact of the scheme on businesses and other ways businesses might display ratings such as on publicity materials and websites.
