Food Industry Services
Are your customers checking up on your food hygiene standards?
Have you ever asked yourself to what degree do your customers take your food hygiene standards into account when deciding whether to give you their custom? What factors do they use to judge your hygiene standards? And how much could their perception be costing your business in lost sales?
A Food Standards Agency (FSA) survey published in July 2011 found that:
- 52% of respondents were concerned about the safety of food sold in a selection of food business sectors;
- 82% said they were aware of the hygiene standards of these establishments;
- 30% of respondents used hygiene certificates to make a judgement on whether to use those establishments, either alone or in conjunction with other factors.
So Can Your Food Hygiene Rating Lose You Commercial Business?
All the evidence indicates that it can, and not only with passing trade.
A number of UK local authorities and private sector providers now use the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme as a benchmark when shortlisting food suppliers or approved contractors. If your business fails to achieve or maintain the correct food hygiene rating, you will lose access to potentially lucrative clients.
