Food Authorities operate a system for prioritising the food hygiene inspections they carry out. At the end of each inspection the business is given a score called a food hazard rating. This reflects (amongst other things) how well the business complies with food law and how much confidence we have in the food operators ability to manage the business safely. The higher hazard rating, the higher the risk and the more often inspections are carried out.
The premises recieves a score in three areas:
Food Hygiene and Safety,
Structure and Cleaning, and
Confidence in Management
The lower the score the better the premises is in terms of legal compliance and the more stars that will be rewarded. Stars are awarded as follows:
0 - 5 points - 5 Stars
10 - 15 points - 4 Stars
20 - 25 points - 3 Stars
30 - 35 points - 2 Stars
Up to 40 points - 1 Star
45 and above - No Stars
Any score of over 20 in any area means the premises will recieve no stars.
