Food business operators have a ‘right to reply’ in respect of the food hygiene rating given following an inspection.
About the Right to Reply
The right to reply allows you to give an explanation of actions you have taken to make the required improvements as detailed in the inspection letter, or to explain mitigation for the circumstances at the time of the inspection.
The right to reply is not for making complaints, or for criticising the scheme or food safety officer.

Your comments will be reviewed by the Food Safety Officer and may be edited in order to remove offensive or defamatory remarks before being published with your food hygiene rating at Food Standards Agency website:
