Food hygiene ratings

The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme was launched in 2010, making it easier for local residents to find out about the hygiene standards of food outlets in the district. This national scheme, developed by the Food Standards Agency in partnership with local authorities, provides information on food hygiene standards to help people to choose where to eat out or shop for food.

From 1 May 2019, the Food Hygiene service is provided by Watford Borough Council.

You can get more information and download the forms you need from www.food.gov.uk
