How to read food approval records
Search by the published trading name or approval number. An approval scope is separate from a food hygiene rating.
Read the published fields
Each entity page puts its source fields first, followed by the source link. Codes and activity wording come from the file. Blank values are omitted. Separate activity and species indicators do not establish any additional combinations.
Use the dated source
These pages describe the file dated 1 November 2026. They do not establish current approval status. Check the Food Standards Agency catalogue for the source and other snapshots.
