Complete the assessment
Complete the assessment
You can complete the assessment at your own pace, delegate questions to your team and manage your evidence all within the online tool.
The Standard:
- is around 200 questions
- is tailored to your business size and type
- consists of 12 sections: the 10 impact areas of the Food Made Good Framework, an 'About Your Business' section and a 'Supplier Assurance' section with questions about the primary suppliers of your top five ingredients and of selected high-risk products.
There is no limit to the number of times you can modify an un-submitted assessment. This allows you to use the questionnaire to see what your likely impact and score will be, without having to undergo the full evaluation process.

Your results and final report
Your results and final report
At the end of the evaluation process, you’ll receive your final score and a personalised report containing suggested actions to help you go further. If you've scored 50% or higher, you've achieved the Food Made Good Standard and are now an accredited business – so you'll also be awarded a logo with the number of stars you have achieved. Our Marketing & Communications team will follow up within the next couple of weeks to offer our support in getting the word out!
This report takes two forms:
- A downloadable PDF with your score and the key actions to put in place
- A more detailed set of suggestions by question that you can view on your Food Made Good account
To maintain the validity of your Food Made Good Standard, you must resubmit every two years.
