A rating of 5 (Very good) means the inspector found strong food handling practices, the premises in good condition, and a well-documented food safety management system. To achieve a 5, a business must perform well in food hygiene, structural compliance, and confidence in management, the three areas assessed during every inspection.
Food hygiene inspections cover three areas: how food is handled and prepared (hygiene), the physical condition of the premises (structural), and how well food safety is managed and documented (confidence in management). Each is scored independently. Learn more about 5-star ratings →
