The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) helps people choose where to eat out or to shop for food by giving them information about the hygiene standards in food businesses. Businesses are given a window sticker for display and ratings are published online.
 
When the scheme was introduced in October 2010, the display was voluntary in Wales, and the same sticker was used in Wales, England and Northern Ireland. This sticker did not feature the Welsh Government Dragon logo. When the display of the FHRS sticker was made mandatory in Wales in November 2013, a new sticker featuring the Welsh Government Dragon logo was introduced. 

An error was made In the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme Audit of Display and Business Survey 2021 report published on the 29th of September 2022. In the 2021 report, it states that in Wales, 85% of businesses had their correct statutory FHRS sticker with the dragon logo on display, with a further 2% displaying an FHRS sticker without a dragon, when combined, this results in 87% of businesses in Wales displaying either sticker. 

However, the correct figure for either sticker displayed is 88%; 85% of businesses had their correct statutory FHRS sticker with the dragon logo on display, with a further 3% displaying an FHRS sticker without a dragon.

This error in the 2021 report was caused by the percentage of businesses displaying either sticker outside their premises being accidently used in place of the percentage of businesses displaying either sticker inside or outside their premises.
