About HygieneFix

Who We Are

HygieneFix is operated by Anthony Johnson in the United Kingdom. The site provides a free food hygiene rating lookup service and a paid improvement-plan product (£49) for food businesses that want a structured starting point after a low rating.

HygieneFix is independent. We are not affiliated with the Food Standards Agency (FSA), any local authority, or an Environmental Health professional body. The service is informational and does not replace advice from the authority responsible for your premises or from a qualified food-safety professional.

Our Mission

Official inspection data is public, but the rating alone does not always help a business understand what to do next. HygieneFix aims to make the public record easier to navigate, explain the three FHRS scoring areas in plain English, and point business owners towards authoritative guidance when they need to make improvements.

Data Sources

Food hygiene rating data displayed on this site is sourced from the Food Standards Agency's public API under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The FSA/local-authority record remains the authoritative source.

HygieneFix refreshes service data regularly, but there can be a delay between an inspection and publication of a new rating. If a rating, address or inspection detail looks wrong, verify it with the FSA or the local authority responsible for the business.

AI-Generated Improvement Plans

For businesses rated 0, 1 or 2, HygieneFix can generate a personalised improvement plan using AI. The model receives establishment information relevant to the plan, such as the available inspection scores and business type, and produces a prioritised checklist intended to help the owner organise follow-up work.

AI output can be incomplete or wrong. It does not override food law, the inspection report, or advice from your local authority. We make no guarantee that following a plan will produce a particular rating. See our Terms of Service for the full limitations.

Editorial Standards

Our editorial pages are written to add practical explanation around the official schemes rather than simply repeat FSA data. For legal, food-safety and scheme-specific claims, we prioritise primary sources such as the Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland, legislation and local-authority guidance.

Newer articles include a visible source list and a reviewed date. Older material is periodically checked and corrected where guidance changes or a claim cannot be supported by a current first-party source. We avoid presenting delivery-platform rules, inspection frequencies or council fees as universal when they vary by provider, jurisdiction or authority.

Editorial content is not paid placement. If sponsored content is introduced in future, it will be clearly labelled. Google AdSense advertising, once approved, is restricted to editorial/content-rich pages rather than programmatic search and business-result pages.
