Rushcliffe Borough Council Achieves Remarkable Food Hygiene Success!

In a recent report, Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) has demonstrated a commendable commitment to food safety through its rigorous food hygiene inspections. Over 550 inspections conducted in the past year revealed that an impressive 93% of rated food premises received either a five or four-star rating. This achievement not only underscores the effectiveness of the local authority's health and safety measures but also highlights a thriving food business environment in the Borough.

Outstanding Compliance Rates

The statistics from RBC are promising, with 97% of inspected establishments being compliant with hygiene standards. These ratings are pivotal for consumers, as they provide insight into the quality and safety of the food being served. Ratings can be easily accessed online, and businesses proudly display their ratings for public awareness.

Celebrating Local Achievements

A recent engagement between RBC's Environmental Health Team and local business Shakeel Farhan at the newly renovated Lanka Dragon Chinese takeaway exemplifies the positive impact of these ratings. The business received a prestigious five-star hygiene rating, a testament to their commitment to safety and community health. Farhan expressed gratitude toward the Environmental Health Team for their supportive role in achieving this significant milestone.

Commitment to Food Safety

Portfolio Holder for Environment & Safety, Cllr Rob Inglis, emphasized the Council's ongoing dedication to enhancing food hygiene inspections each year. The objective is clear: ensure that all food businesses adhere to safety regulations, ultimately protecting public health. The structured approach taken by the council reflects a proactive stance in promoting both compliance and the overall quality of food services within the Borough.

The success of the food businesses in Rushcliffe signals not just compliance, but a community thriving on quality and safety in culinary offerings. With initiatives aimed at encouraging new food businesses to seek guidance and support, the RBC showcases a model of collaboration between local authorities and entrepreneurs to foster a safe food environment.
