# UK food hygiene rating value (`gb_food_hygiene_rating`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Rating value of a food business in the open data of the UK Food Standards Agency. The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (England, Wales, Northern Ireland) uses 0 to 5; the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (Scotland) uses Pass, Pass and Eat Safe and Improvement Required. Both also use Exempt, Awaiting Inspection and Awaiting Publication, which establishment data of the FHRS writes without spaces (AwaitingInspection).
