Two different jobs
- Look up a published hygiene rating — use SafeScore (consumer / public-record intent).
- Prepare your own kitchen for an EHO visit — use PassReady inspection readiness software, the free checklist, or the preparation guide.
What a food hygiene rating tells you
Food hygiene ratings help customers understand the standards found when a food business was inspected. The rating considers:
- How hygienically food is handled.
- The condition and cleanliness of the premises.
- How the business manages and documents food safety.
How to use the result
- Check the business name, address and inspection date.
- Remember that the result reflects conditions observed at that inspection.
- Use the responsible regulator’s website for the authoritative record and current local rules.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find a restaurant’s food hygiene inspection report?
Search the Food Standards Agency’s public food hygiene data by business name or location. SafeScore provides a simpler lookup using official public data and links people back to the relevant source.
Is a food hygiene rating the same as an inspection report?
The public rating summarises the position found at inspection. Your local authority may hold additional inspection information, which can sometimes be requested directly.
Can a business improve its food hygiene rating?
Yes. Correct the problems identified, maintain strong daily controls and ask your local authority about its revisit or re-rating process.
Running the kitchen?
PassReady helps operators find gaps, keep daily evidence and prepare for EHO visits — separate from SafeScore’s public rating lookup.
