What does this rating mean?

Number 5 is exempt from needing a hygiene rating. This happens when a business has been checked by a food safety officer and met the pass criteria, but does not fit the rating scheme itself.

Usually these businesses are low risk, and often they are not really a “food business” at all - think newsagents, chemists or visitor centres that happen to sell the odd biscuit.
