<p>The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is operated by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in
partnership with local authorities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p><p>
</p><p>Food businesses covered by the scheme are provided with stickers showing their
rating. Those in Wales and Northern Ireland are already required by law to display
the stickers at their premises, while those in England are encouraged to do so.</p><p>
</p><p>The FSA considers that mandatory display should extend to England and is currently
finalising an evidence-based case for a statutory scheme. The case for extending mandatory
display to England is being finalised by the FSA for ministerial consideration and
ultimately cross Government approval.</p>
