If you run a business that makes or prepares food, it will be inspected to make sure you are following food law.

How often you are routinely inspected depends on the nature of your business and its previous record. Some businesses may be inspected every six months; others much less often. The inspectors have the right to enter and inspect food premises; they do not have to make an appointment and will usually come without notice.
If you serve or supply food direct to the public, you may be covered by the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. This means that when your business is inspected, you will be given a hygiene rating from '0' at the bottom to '5' at the top, based on the hygiene standards found at the time.
