Commenting on the publication of the Food Hygiene Rating (Wales) Bill, Darren Millar AM, Shadow Health Minister, said:
“We welcome this major step forward in improving food hygiene standards in Wales.
“Displaying visible hygiene ratings on the premises gives consumers clear information to make an informed decision about where they dine or purchase food.
“Giving customers access to information about compliance with hygiene regulations is critical in driving up standards and rooting out bad practice.
“Welsh Conservatives have long campaigned for a hygiene ratings scheme to empower consumers.
“I hope Welsh Ministers will engage effectively with food businesses and consumers over the implementation of this scheme and examine ways of making additional information on hygiene inspections available to the public.”
