Food Hygiene Rating

City of York Council’s data on Food Hygiene Rating in the city. The food hygiene rating or inspection result given to a business reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of inspection or visit by the local authority. As Such, the food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality. The information provided on businesses is updated at least every 27 days and is held by the Food Standards Agency on behalf of the City of York Council participating in the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Data is georeferenced and can be previewed in a map. It can also be retrieved making use of the API in place. There is an APP available for downloading as well.
