- Worth noticing
- It keeps Scotland’s Pass/Improvement Required scheme separate from FHRS’s 0–5 ratings instead of forcing a common scale.
Field notes
The homepage separates FHRS figures for England, Wales and Northern Ireland from Scotland’s FHIS results, and says each distribution and comparison is calculated within its own scheme. It also describes regional bands using generalised ONS ITL2 boundaries dated January 2025. The page identifies Food Standards Agency open data as its source and gives a data date of 13 November 2026.
