The Agency has today published a progress update on the development of the national six-tier Scores on the Doors scheme.
The update provides information on the progress made recently by the UK-wide Steering Group in developing the underpinning framework for the scheme.
This includes:
* endorsement of guidance on scoring using Annex 5 of the Food Law Code of Practice
* the agreed bandings for the six tiers of the scheme
* guidance on the mechanism for businesses to request a re-visit to be re-scored
The update also includes details of how the IT platform that will support the national scheme (and the Food Hygiene Information Scheme in Scotland) will be developed.
