Abstract: Get ready for new food hygiene legislation, UK businesses warned. The NFU Mutual Food Hygiene Ratings Report, published today, reveals that 44% of people would turn away from even their favourite places to eat and try somewhere else instead, if a food hygiene rating of less than four out of five was on display. Research assesses the potential impact of legislation to display food hygiene ratings44% of customers would turn away at the door if faced with a rating of 3 out of 5 or less. Over 43,000 catering and hospitality businesses in England could be affected. Almost half (44%) of customers could physically turn away from the front doors of more than 43,000 restaurants, takeaways, cafés and pubs when food businesses in England are legally required to display their food hygiene ratings, according to research by commercial insurer NFU Mutual.
