The higher your rating, the more trust your consumers put in your business. The NFU Mutual Food Hygiene Ratings Report found that 44% of people would turn away from a food establishment if it displayed a rating of 4 or less. Therefore, maintaining a good rating is an important aspect of protecting both your business and brand identity.
