What information will I see?
The scheme is designed to give straightforward information about how each food outlet fared at its last food hygiene inspection.

  • Pass A 'Pass' indicates that the business broadly met the legal requirements. These requirements include the conditions found and the management procedures in place for providing safe food. A 'Pass' certificate should provide reassurance that the establishment meets legal requirements at the time of inspection and the certificate should be prominently displayed by the business.
  • Improvement Required Where a business has failed to meet these requirements it will be issued with an 'Improvement Required' certificate.
  • Exempt Premises A very small number of premises may be registered as food businesses in circumstances where it is unlikely that customers will view them as food premises, such as a hairdresser or car showroom that provides coffee and biscuits to customers. The assessment for such premises will have concluded that the food safety risk is negligible. When a business is classified as an 'Exempt Premises' (and the owner agrees) no certificate will be issued and exemption will be recorded in the register.
  • Awaiting inspection Where a business has not yet been inspected, it will be issued with a temporary certificate advising consumers of that fact. This will appear as 'Awaiting Inspection' on the website. New owners who take over a business within the scheme must request an inspection as soon as possible after taking ownership.
