The food hygiene rating helps the public to choose where to eat out or purchase food by giving them information about hygiene standards in restaurants, hotels and other food establishments.
Businesses should be prepared when the Environmental Health Officer visit their kitchen to inspect and rate the food they offer. As a consumer, for you to find out whether your favourite restaurant or local cafe has achieved a good food hygiene rating you just have to download the app.
Pest control
All businesses that serve food need to have a fully managed and professional pest control system in place to ensure that your premises are free from pests. If any signs of pests are found that will affect your rating immediately. To make sure that you have an appropriate pest control measure in place, hire a professional pest control company.
Record keeping
Well maintained food storage systems
Personal hygiene and staff training
Food hygiene training will ensure your staff know the importance of a neat and clean kitchen, personal hygiene levels and food standards. To be able to reach a five-star food hygiene rating you need to make sure that your staff know what is expected of them and understand why.
