Methodology & sources

Manufacturers / packers is defined by mapping FSA FHRS BusinessType values to the FoodProspect sector taxonomy. Each establishment inherits one BusinessType from its local authority feed; the mapping table is shared across all all 48 ceremonial counties of England.

Aggregates on this page sum establishments classified as Manufacturers / packers across England. Where SIC codes align, Companies House registration stats are shown as a complementary source — they are not linked record-by-record to FHRS premises.

Rating activity uses the published date of each establishment's latest FHRS score (30- and 365-day windows). Unlike the French stack (Alim'confiance inspection history capped at 12 months), the UK model stores one current rating per establishment from FHRS with no multi-year inspection archive.
