Food hygiene rating 4: common questions
What does a 4 out of 5 food hygiene rating mean?
A rating of 4 means hygiene standards were judged good at the most recent inspection. A 4 is a solid, reassuring score. It means the inspector found good hygiene standards with only small points to tidy up. The difference between a 4 and a 5 is usually a detail rather than anything you would notice as a diner.
Is a 4 out of 5 a good food hygiene rating?
Yes. A 4 is at the good end of the 0 to 5 scale and means there is little or nothing to worry about on the hygiene front.
Can a business improve its food hygiene rating?
Yes. A rating reflects a single inspection, and a business can request a re-inspection once it has made improvements. That is why a place can climb the scale between visits, so a rating is best read as a snapshot rather than the final word.
