Food Hygiene Rating Scheme Audit of Display and Business Surveys

This page brings together all Food Hygiene Rating Scheme Audit of Display and Business Surveys and Technical reports published since 2019.

We have commissioned independent research to assess the proportion of food businesses that are displaying their food hygiene ratings since 2011 (excluding 2021 due to covid-19). This research assessed the proportion of food businesses displaying food hygiene ratings by using mystery shopping audits.  A telephone survey was also conducted with a sample of food businesses across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to explore business attitudes towards the scheme and specifically, in Wales and Northern Ireland, to determine the impact of compulsory display. The main report and technical report providing details on methodology are published below.
