All about this Improving your Food Hygiene Rating Course
In this course, you will consider some statistics relating to the food hygiene scheme (FHRS) and you will explore the FHRS, inspections and the FHRS scoring system in further detail.
You will also learn about food business operators (FBOs) that come under the FHRS and those that are exempt. You will also explore the consequences an FBO could face if they have a poor food hygiene rating and the benefits of having a good rating.

You will also look at food handling, preparation, storage, transportation, handwashing and personal hygiene, food hygiene and safety, structure, cleaning and food safety management and how these areas contribute to the total score and overall food hygiene rating.
