The Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), which has been implemented by East Dunbartonshire Council in partnership with the Food Standards Agency, will throw the spotlight on the hygiene of all restaurants, pubs, hotels, takeaways, supermarkets and shops in Kirkintilloch and the surrounding areas.

Environmental health officers inspect premises on a regular basis and allocate a ‘pass’ rating where legal standards are being met.

Council leader Rhondda Geekie said: “Consumers will now be able to make a more informed choice about where they eat or buy food in Kirkintilloch based on the hygiene of that particular establishment.

“At the moment 103 food businesses in and around Kirkintilloch meet the standards required and the remaining 58 will need to improve or face losing custom.”
