FHRS has been confirmed by the FSA as their flagship initiative, whilst acknowleging it will need to change and adapt in the light of the ‘Future Food Regulations Programme’ discussed at the recent March 2026 board meeting.

To enable the FSA to directly regulate the large chains and allow them self-inspection, FHRS will finally be enshrined in law. The delays, pauses and postponements to this over the last 15 years might eventually be over and it is expected that the legislation will include the compulsory display of stickers in England.

Unfortunately, the 89% of consumers who say they want this, will still have to wait until after 2030 before it is fully rolled out.
