Open Make it a legal requirement to display Food Hygiene Ratings in England

Created by Benjamin Cook
Closes on

Displaying a Food Hygiene Rating is a legal requirement in Wales and Northern Ireland, but remains voluntary in England. I believe this should be changed so premises must display their Food Hygiene Rating clearly at site entrances. Customers should clearly know food standards.

Businesses that fail to display their Food Hygiene Rating should face a fine. Mandatory, visible ratings could make the system meaningful, encourage businesses to maintain high hygiene standards, and ensure customers can see a premises’ rating before entering. There should be a clear and consistent penalty for non-compliance.
