Scores on the doors - Scoring process
|
|
Borough of Telford and Wrekin undertakes risk ratings of all food businesses following a primary inspection and the main categories used to work out the overall score are as follows:
• type of food and method of handling
• method of processing
• consumers at risk
• level of current compliance with food hygiene and safety procedures
• level of current compliance with structure of premises
• confidence in management and control systems
• risk of contamination of food.
The overall score is then used to work out the frequency of inspection for the business in line with the Food Law code of practice.
The following table outlines the ratings and scores that are used in order to work out the star rating that will be given to the premises.
