Where deadlines for onsite interventions had been missed, it was for reasons beyond their control.įrom April 2023 onward, local authorities said they would enter the new financial year with significant numbers of overdue low risk food hygiene and medium and low risk food standards interventions as a result of the pandemic. Most authorities were able to meet or exceed recovery plan milestones. However, at the time of the assessments, all officers had returned to food law enforcement work. A second period from January and March 2023 in England included seven local authorities.įive of seven local authorities entered the recovery period in July 2021 with some food officers still diverted to enforcement of COVID-19 regulations and dealing with local outbreaks. The first period of assessments was between April and July 2022 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The COVID-19 Local Authority Recovery Plan started in June 2021 and applied in England, Wales and Northern Ireland until the end of March this year.

“The difficulties encountered in finding food businesses’ online presence would provide some support for requiring businesses to provide this information, at point of registration or inspection, and for local authorities to submit it with their FHRS return,” said the report. However, it was the wrong score in four cases. Of these, 37 had a Facebook page and seven were showing a rating. Researchers examined a sub-sample of 100 firms with no business website. An impact assessment for rollout of mandatory display including online in England suggested a cost to businesses of compliance and to local authorities of enforcement. A version was drafted in Northern Ireland in 2017, but fell through because of suspension of the parliament. Legislation for mandatory online display is being considered. Website images were matched against reference images of FHRS ratings, although false positives and false negatives were found with the algorithm threshold used. Only an establishment’s own website was included, so a social media page or presence on an aggregator such as Deliveroo were not taken into account. Toward online display Data from Google Places was matched against a sample of businesses from the FHRS open data. A comparison with actual ratings found that two sites were rated 4. Takeaways were more likely than other outlet types to display a rating, while pubs were less likely.Īll websites were displaying a 5 rating, apart from one, which was actually not the business’s own website. More than half of the sample had a business website and it was estimated that the prevalence of online display was about 3 percent. The project was in 2021 but results have only recently been made public. Physical display is required in Wales and Northern Ireland but not in England.Ī sample size of 1,500 included hotels, pubs, restaurants, cafes, canteens, and takeaways.
