Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about EHO inspections and software.
What do EHO inspectors check?
EHO inspectors evaluate three key areas: hygienic food handling (preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage), the physical condition of your premises (cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest control), and food safety management (system in place, records, staff training).
Can I present digital records during an EHO inspection?
Yes. Digital records are accepted provided they accurately reflect required checks and procedures. Safe Kitchen records are designed for clear on-screen review and instant PDF export.
How do I prepare for an unannounced EHO inspection?
The best preparation is consistent daily compliance. Using an EHO inspection app helps your team complete necessary checks on time, issues are logged and corrected with a digital trail, and all records are instantly available in one place when the inspector arrives.
What is the food hygiene rating scheme?
The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) is a partnership between local authorities and the FSA in the UK. It rates food businesses from 0 (urgent improvement required) to 5 (hygiene standards are very good) based on their inspection results across handling, condition, and management.
How often do EHO inspections happen?
Frequency depends on the risk level of the business. High-risk businesses may be inspected every 6 months, while low-risk ones might be inspected every 2-3 years. Inspections are typically unannounced, which is why everyday readiness is crucial.
