From the Food Standards Agency's open data: the national hygiene ratings file (FHRS for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, FHIS for Scotland), read on 28 October 2026. Council details come from the FSA's list of local authorities. It is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. ### Is there a phone number or email for each business? No. The FSA does not publish a phone, email or website for any business. The email in the file is the council's food team. ### Why do some rows have no address or map point? The FSA withholds the address of 96,575 businesses, mostly run from a home. address_withheld is Y on those rows. 75% of rows have the FSA's map point. We do not geocode UK addresses. ### What do the ratings mean? England, Wales and Northern Ireland rate from 0 to 5, where 5 is very good. Scotland gives Pass or Improvement Required. 383,688 businesses are rated 5. 52,936 are awaiting inspection and 26,211 are exempt. ### Is it only UK businesses? Yes. Every row is in the United Kingdom, with a UK postcode. No row is placed in a U.S. state, county or ZIP code. ### How is this data cleaned? Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 28, 2026 from ratings.food.gov.uk: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 28, 2026). Unified 0 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 28, 2026). Corrected 0 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Removed the second copy of 725 street addresses that were typed twice in the same field (October 28, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 0 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 28, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (October 28, 2026). Flagged 614,606 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 28, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 28, 2026). ### Isn't this free on ratings.food.gov.uk? The underlying records are public on ratings.food.gov.uk. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: fixed 725 doubled addresses, flagged 614,606 incomplete addresses and measured 614,606 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 28, 2026 from ratings.food.gov.uk. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates. ### How complete is each field? Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: street address 84%, latitude 75%, longitude 75%. 38 of 40 columns are filled on at least half the rows, and 1 is empty in every row.
