Which item is NOT a concern for an EHO when inspecting food establishments?

Kitchen decor and aesthetics are generally not a primary concern for an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) when inspecting food establishments. The focus of an EHO is primarily on health and safety standards that affect food hygiene and public health. This includes ensuring that establishments are free from pests, that staff have received appropriate training in food safety practices, and that food labeling and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) compliance are being adhered to.

While a clean and pleasant environment is important for customer satisfaction and can indirectly affect food safety and hygiene practices, it does not typically fall within the regulatory focus of an EHO. They prioritize quantitative metrics like pest control, food handling practices, and the accuracy of food information as these elements are directly linked to public health risks.
