Scores on the doors
The council has introduced a scheme called "Scores on the Doors" through which all food businesses inspected by officers from Environmental Health are given a score on how well they have performed in terms of hygiene, structural condition and overall attitude to complying with the law.
Following a food hygiene inspection a business is also given a hygiene award which includes a score ranging from gold for excellent premises through silver and bronze to those that receive no award. It is voluntary for the businesses to display the award but gives the consumer an indication of its overall level of food hygiene compliance.
The aim of the scheme is to improve food hygiene standards in the city and also to give the public a more informed choice about where to eat based on food safety.
There are approximately 2000 food businesses in Salford that are inspected for food hygiene. An up to date list of each premises compliance scores following the inspection can be viewed via the link below.
The score is only a reflection of conditions found on the day of the inspection and standards may have gone up or down since.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Environmental Health team on 0161-737 0551 or email environment@salford.gov.uk.
