Can I request a reinspection?

You can request a revisit to your business to reinspect compliance with food hygiene law and reassess your food hygiene rating.

There is a £226 charge for a reinspection.

Please note:

  • as the food business operator, you can request a revisit if you have fixed the issues identified at your last inspection
  • you can request a revisit anytime after the inspection, provided you have made the necessary improvements  
  • you must provide details and evidence of the improvements that you have made when you submit your request for a revisit
  • if we agree that sufficient improvements have been made, we will conduct an unannounced visit within 3 months of us receiving your request
  • the new food hygiene rating will be based on the compliance level at the time of the revisit, and your rating could go up, down, or stay the same
