A consultation which could allow a Food Hygiene Rating Scheme to be introduced on the Island has been extended until 12 February.
The regulations would bring the Island in line with the UK and mean the likes of pubs, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets would be legally required to display their rating for the public to see in the premises and online.
The rating system would range from zero, where urgent improvement is needed, to five, where hygiene standards are classed as very good.
Currently hygiene standards reached by each establishment are not publicly displayed.
The regulations would apply to all premises where food is sold or served on the Island, including schools, care homes and hospitals.
