2,528 food businesses inspected under the Scottish Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS). 93.6% have a Pass result.
Food hygiene in Dumfries and Galloway is assessed under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), which is used in Scotland instead of the 0-5 numerical rating used in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Under the FHIS, businesses receive one of two outcomes: 'Pass', meaning the business meets food hygiene standards, or 'Improvement Required', meaning the business needs to make changes to comply. Some businesses may also receive a 'Pass and Eat Safe' award, indicating consistently high standards.
Dumfries and Galloway has 2,528 registered food businesses. Of these, 1,386 have received a Pass result, while 95 have been told improvement is required. Environmental health officers from the local council carry out inspections, assessing how food is handled, prepared, and stored, the physical condition of the premises, and how food safety is managed by the business.
Scottish food businesses may choose whether to display their FHIS result on their premises; the official ratings remain available online. If you see an 'Improvement Required' notice, the business must take action before their next inspection. You can check the latest status of any food business on the Food Standards Scotland website.
Retrieval is not an inspection date. Ratings may change; verify individual businesses with the official authority. Missing or conflicting results are not counted as a pass.

The source snapshot contains 1,386 food businesses in Dumfries and Galloway with a Pass result under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), meaning they meet the required food hygiene standards.
'Improvement Required' under the Scottish FHIS means the food business did not fully meet food hygiene standards at the time of inspection. The business must take action to address the issues found. This is different from the 0-5 rating used in England and Wales. The business will be re-inspected to check that improvements have been made.
In Scotland, food business inspection frequency is risk-based. Businesses with an 'Improvement Required' result will be re-inspected sooner, typically within a few months. Businesses with a Pass result and good track record may be inspected every 1-3 years depending on the type and risk level of the business.
