The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is encouraging food businesses across Wales to aim for the top Food Hygiene Rating of 5 (Very Good), a standard that it says is achievable for any business, regardless of size, style, or cuisine.

The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) helps consumers make informed choices by providing clear information of a business’ hygiene standards. In doing so, it also encourages businesses to improve hygiene standards. Recognised as one of the UK’s major public health achievements of the 21st century, the scheme plays a vital role in preventing foodborne illness and driving up hygiene standards across Wales.
