The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is operated by the Food Standards Agency, rating businesses from 0 to 5 based on their food hygiene.
We carry out a risk based programme of food hygiene inspections on food businesses in Croydon, to ensure that food sold to the public is safe to consume. Certain businesses, such as wholesalers and manufacturers, are exempt from scheme.
Most food businesses are part of the Food Hygiene Ratings Scheme, operated by the Food Standards Agency. Following inspection, businesses are allocated a rating between 0 and 5, where 5 is very good.
As a business you can you can request a re-visit on the Food Standards Agency website.
Download, complete and return the form to the Food and Safety team.
You will be assessed for a new rating at any time after your inspection, once you have taken action to rectify any non-compliance(s) that were identified at the time of inspection.
Include evidence of works carried out such as receipts and photographs. If you require further information, contact the inspecting officer whose telephone number is on your inspection report.
Your rating can go down, go up or remain the same following your re-rating visit.
The charge for this service is £250.00.
We will be in touch with you regarding payment. You will be required to pay the full amount up front before the inspection, by debit card. Payment will not be taken until we have reviewed and approved your accompanying documentation.
You can appeal a rating on the Food Standards Agency website if you are unhappy with it and do not agree that the rating reflects the standards at the time of the inspection.
As a business owner or manager, you can request that a rating is published before the end of the appeal period. This request must be made in writing to your local authority (contact as below).

You can download the early publication form from the Food Standards Agency website.
