		<title>Comment on Rogue Restaurants: BBC1 Series by Dr Lisa Ackerley</title>

		<description>Hello and thank you for your response.  I am glad that you found the series interesting if not a little disconcerting too!  Unfortunately bad practices such as the ones highlighted in the programme do occasionally occur and sometimes it takes an undercover report to show just how bad things can be.  Obviously poor practices such as reusing food or swigging out of bottles are unlikely to happen when Environmental Health Practitioners (EHP’s) or Food Safety Consultants are there.  However rest assured that all restaurants do receive hygiene visits and most EHP’s are well versed in how to spot a restaurant that has poor hygiene standards.  I am sorry that this programme has put you off eating out but am glad to report that you can now look up the score that an EHP has given to a restaurant using the ‘Scores on the Doors’ scheme.  The primary purpose of these schemes is to empower consumers so that they can make a more informed choice about where they eat. 

Although at present there are many different schemes in use (and unfortunately some areas where there are no schemes), the food standards agency will soon be introducing a national scheme so that all consumers can find out about food businesses in their areas.  Basically the schemes involve EHP’s giving businesses a food hygiene score that reflects their inspection findings.  Some businessses may display this at the point of sale but if not the score is also available via a website where consumers can see the scores for all the businesses in the local area.  You can check to see whether a scheme is running in your area by clicking on the following link: Food Standards Agency - Scores on the Doors.  For the record, not all food businesses have anywhere near the poor hygiene standards that you saw in Rogue Restaurants.  Lots of premises have good food safety systems in place.  We have many clients who have very good procedures and practices in place and good standards that we can audit them against.  These premises are likely to receive much higher Scores on the Doors to reflect their higher standards.  Should any business out there wish to improve their potential Score on the Door, Hygiene Audit Systems has recently developed a new low cost food safety toolkit that has everything a small business needs to improve food safety and hence their potential Score on the Door!</description>

		<description>Dear Dr Ackerley
I have been following the Rogue Restaurants: BBC1 Series and found it very interesting.  There was one or two of the pubs shown which myself and my family visited.  To be honest this series it has put me off going out to eat altogether.
I found what some of the kitchen staff get up to utterly disgusting and am appalled that it took the BBC to go in undercover for these to be highlighted to the various different managers and owners.
Are there any tips you can give me so that I can avoid eating in places showing poor food safety and health and safety?
Thanks</description>
