Hygiene rating.
A visible rating is a marketing asset for food service. It’s voluntary, runs for two years, and is earned on the same things an inspector checks.
A hygiene rating on the wall — earned on the same things an inspector checks.
Where the rule comes from
FSSAI Hygiene Rating Scheme guidance
We quote the regulation behind every requirement. Where FSSAI hasn’t specified something, we tell you it’s our reading, not the law.
You need this if…
- Restaurants, cafés and cloud kitchens
- Sweet shops, bakeries, meat and fish retail
- Chains that want a consistent rating across outlets
Exactly what you’re paying for.
Included
- Pre-audit against the rating checklist
- Fixes and records
- Coordination with a recognised hygiene audit agency
- Reminder before it lapses
Not included
- The audit agency’s fee
Anything outside scope is quoted in writing before we do it.
Who does what, in order.
Most of the work is ours. Where something needs you, it says so.
