good food hygiene highlighted in wales
|
|
|
good food hygiene is getting easier to spot in wales with the launch today of a bilingual advertising campaign from the food standards agency. designed to promote awareness of the food hygiene rating scheme, the consumer advertising campaign runs in wales throughout march 2011. the advertising shows the scheme's bright green and black rating sticker and the web address food.gov.uk/ratings, where the food hygiene ratings can be found. about the scheme the food hygiene rating scheme, which is is run by local authorities in partnership with the fsa, helps make it easier for consumers to choose places with good hygiene when eating out or shopping for food. the rating tells them about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways, hotels and other places they eat out, as well as in supermarkets and other food shops. in wales, all 22 local authorities are implementing the scheme and as each food business is inspected by a local authority food safety officer, the business is given a rating. at the top of the rating scale is ‘5’ – this means the hygiene standards are very good. at the bottom of the scale is ‘0’ – this means urgent improvement is required. steve wearne, director of the fsa in wales, said: 'local authorities in wales have been busy implementing the scheme since the beginning of october 2010. it is now important that the consumer is made aware of the scheme and what it means for them. the campaign will create this awareness. with this scheme, a simple rating on a sticker gives consumers the information they need to choose the places with the best hygiene standards when they eat out or buy food.' below is an example of a bilingual sticker for a business with a hygiene rating of ‘5’ and ‘very good’ hygiene standards.
