Food hygiene 'scores on the doors' rating plan extended - BBC News
Firms supplying restaurants, takeaways and canteens will be included in a "scores on the doors" hygiene scheme, Wales' health minister has announced.
The Welsh Government's proposals will see cooked food outlets compelled to display a 0-5 rating on their premises.
The scheme has been widened to include businesses which prepare food but do not sell it directly to consumers.
The proposals follow E. coli outbreaks in Wales which led to calls for a tougher stance.
The expanded scheme, announced by Wales' Health Minister Lesley Griffiths, would take in manufacturers, wholesalers and transporters, which are currently not rated under the Food Standards Agency scheme.
