What is an EHO Readiness Assessment?
Our free EHO Readiness Quiz helps UK food businesses understand how prepared they are for an Environmental Health Officer inspection. The assessment covers the same areas that EHOs evaluate when determining your Food Hygiene Rating Score (FHRS) - from your SFBB documentation and HACCP plans to temperature monitoring, staff training, allergen management, and more.
Whether you run a restaurant, cafe, pub, hotel, takeaway, or catering business, this quiz gives you an honest assessment of your current compliance status and highlights specific areas that need attention before your next inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an EHO look for during an inspection?
Environmental Health Officers assess three main areas: hygienic food handling (including cross-contamination prevention, cooking, and cooling procedures), the physical condition of your premises (cleanliness, layout, ventilation, pest control), and your food safety management system (SFBB pack, HACCP plan, training records, temperature logs).
How accurate is this quiz compared to a real inspection?
This quiz covers the key compliance areas that EHOs evaluate, but it is not a substitute for a professional inspection. Think of it as a self-assessment tool to identify obvious gaps and areas for improvement. A real EHO inspection involves physical examination of your premises and practices.
What FHRS rating could I get based on my score?
We provide an estimated FHRS rating based on your quiz score. Generally, scores above 80% suggest you are likely to achieve a 4 or 5 rating. Scores between 50-80% may result in a 3 rating, while scores below 50% indicate significant compliance gaps that could lead to lower ratings or enforcement action.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. Your quiz responses are not stored unless you choose to submit your email to receive your detailed report. We never share your data with third parties or local authorities.
