Wales is the first part of the UK to be affected by new food hygiene legislation, requiring food businesses to prominently display their food hygiene ratings and will be enforced by local councils. The ratings will range from 0-5 with 5 being the highest and have been extended from the previous ‘scores on the doors’ voluntary system.
The ratings system will affect food retailers and places where food is prepared, which as well as cafes and restaurants will include schools and hospitals, and businesses not complying will face fines.
