The Environmental Health department's Commercial Team launched a food hygiene award scheme in August 2000. Since then, many businesses have received this award for having pubs, restaurants, care homes, and other establishments serving food, that have met standards in hygiene that are over and above those required by law.

Criteria

Businesses have to meet strict criteria in order to gain the award. For example, their premises must be clean and structurally sound, all food handling staff must be trained in food hygiene and must wear clean uniforms/hats, and foods in refrigerators must be covered, labelled and stored at the correct temperature.
