What criteria are used to determine food hygiene ratings in Bromley?
A local authority food safety officer’s inspection is the basis for determining food hygiene ratings.
This addresses the hygienic handling of the food, including its preparation, cooking, reheating, chilling, storage, and precautions used to manage temperature and avoid cross-contamination.
This examines the physical state of the building, including its equipment, cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest management, and general upkeep.
This assesses the company’s food safety management systems, such as employee training, established protocols, record-keeping, and management’s commitment to upholding hygienic standards.
Every category receives a unique score; higher values denote more problems. On a scale of 0 to 5, the sum of the scores is converted into an overall food hygiene rating.
Conditions discovered during the inspection are reflected in the grade, which could alter with further inspections.
