Related narrative (from the linked article):

In wave 11 (May 2025 to August 2025), 94% of respondents who had heard of the FHRS thought that food businesses should be required by law to display their food hygiene rating on the premises, and 3% thought it should be up to the business to decide whether to display their food hygiene rating. A further 3% of respondents said they didn't know whether this should be a legal requirement or up to the business to decide.

Support for mandatory display of food hygiene ratings at food business premises remained consistently high over time, and in all three countries. In all waves, over 9 in 10 (91-95%) respondents who had heard of the FHRS, reported that food businesses should be required by law to display their food hygiene rating at their premises.
