All food businesses must openly display their hygiene rating and advise customers of their hygiene rating on request.
The scheme is run by Cyngor Gwynedd and applies to
- restaurants
- pubs
- cafés
- takeaways
- hotels
- supermarkets and other food shops
Each business is given their hygiene rating when it is inspected by a food safety officer from Cyngor Gwynedd. More information can be found on the The Food Standards Agency’s website (FSA) (opens in new tab)
How does it work?
During a food hygiene inspection an assessment is made against the hygiene risk which the business poses to the health of the public.The rating will be based on
- How hygienically the food is handled
- The condition of the premises
- How food safety is managed
The level of compliance determines the Food Hygiene Rating of a business, which ranges from the lowest rating ‘0’ – Urgent Improvement Necessary to the highest rating ‘5’ Very Good.
