Food hygiene in North Lanarkshire 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.

North Lanarkshire has 2,598 registered food businesses. Of these, 2,426 have received a Pass result, while 91 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 are legally required to display their FHIS result. 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many food businesses in North Lanarkshire have a Pass rating?+

What does 'Improvement Required' mean in North Lanarkshire?+

'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.

How often are food businesses inspected in North Lanarkshire?+

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.
