UK public makes food hygiene number one priority when eating out
75% of diners refuse to visit restaurants that have experienced food hygiene issues; would rather suffer poor service than unclean premises or low food ratings
Cambridge, 27 April 2016 –UK consumers are united in not tolerating poor food hygiene ratings and simply won’t visit places that have had food safety issues, no matter what type of restaurant they are. 61% won’t eat at a restaurant, takeaway, coffee shop or pub that has a low Food Standards Agency (FSA) Food Hygiene Rating while three quarters (75%) said they wouldn’t risk dining at a restaurant that had been implicated in a food hygiene incident, even if recommended by someone that they trust.
