How many “stars” would your kitchen earn if it was inspected tomorrow?
Will you still be serving food or will your business be closed?
More than a quarter of a million people requested rating information on food establishments last month alone from the Scores on the Doors website. If your local authority subscribes to this website, and currently 69 do (with more on the way), then your establishment may be next to be assessed.
Your local council could close you tomorrow if your standards of food hygiene are not up to standard. Any food premises which score a zero star rating can expect to face enforcement action under food hygiene laws.
Areas for scrutiny include:
- Food hygiene and safety
- Method of handling food
- Structural conditions of the premises
- Cleaning and disinfecting of work surfaces and knives
- Temperature control
- Storage of food
- Staff hygiene training
- State of cleanliness
- State of repair
- Confidence in the management
- Good access to technical advice
- Food safety risk assessment in place
