Food safety - Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS)
The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) is a program in the UK that helps consumers make informed decisions about where to eat out or purchase food. It provides a rating based on the hygiene standards of food businesses, such as restaurants, cafes, takeaways, supermarkets, and other establishments. Here's an overview of the scheme:
### **How the FHRS Works:**
1. **Inspection by Local Authorities:**
Food safety officers from local councils inspect businesses to ensure they meet hygiene requirements based on food safety laws.
2. **Assessment Areas:**
The inspection focuses on three main areas:
- **Hygienic food handling:** Covers preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling, and storage.
- **Cleanliness and condition of facilities:** Includes proper layout, ventilation, handwashing facilities, and pest control.
- **Food safety management:** Checks systems and documentation to ensure food is safe.
3. **Rating Scale (0–5):**
- **5**: Very good
- **4**: Good
- **3**: Generally satisfactory
- **2**: Improvement necessary
- **1**: Major improvement necessary
- **0**: Urgent improvement required
4. **Display of Ratings:**
- Businesses are encouraged to display their ratings prominently (e.g., on doors or windows).
- Ratings are also available online for public access.
5. **Reassessment and Appeals:**
Businesses can appeal their rating if they believe it’s unfair or request a reassessment after making improvements.
### **Benefits of the FHRS:**
- **For Consumers:** Enables informed choices, improving food safety awareness.
- **For Businesses:** Encourages compliance and builds customer trust.
- **For Public Health:** Reduces foodborne illness by promoting high hygiene standards.
