It requires food authorities in Wales (local authorities and port authorities) to prepare programmes of inspections of food business establishments in their areas in order to assess the hygiene standards of those establishments. In preparing a programme of inspections the food authority must have regard to the matters specified by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and approved by the Welsh Ministers. The food authority must carry out all inspections of food businesses in its area in accordance with the programme. The Act requires a food authority to assess the food hygiene standards of a food business establishment and produce a food hygiene rating, in accordance with the rating criteria published by the FSA. The Act also sets out the procedure for an operator of a food business establishment to appeal against a rating given to the establishment, and the grounds upon which such an appeal may be made. A food authority shall inform the FSA of the ratings that it has awarded to food business establishments in its area and must inform the public of its food hygiene rating.
