Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions he has had with local businesses on the effect of mandatory displays of hygiene ratings on small, local and rural businesses.
This question was answered on 8th June 2016
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has responsibility for the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Currently it is voluntary for food businesses in England to display their hygiene rating. The FSA has been monitoring the impact of mandatory display of ratings at food outlets in Wales. The Government will consider this evidence carefully once it is available.
