New or backlog?
Paste an FSA business link. We'll say whether it was in our 18 Oct 2026 baseline (so an earlier find) and what the fields do and don't mean.
Clive: “Awaiting” is a status, not a date. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

| Field | Means | Does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Awaiting 1st inspection | No published hygiene rating yet | Newly opened, or newly registered |
| First spotted | The date WE first saw the record | Registration or opening date. The FSA doesn’t publish one |
| NEW THIS WEEK | First spotted in our current weekly check | Anything yet. No weekly check has run (baseline 18 Oct 2026) |
| EARLIER FIND | Already on the register when we first looked, or in earlier weeks | Junk. Often a useful, old backlog row |
| Name withheld | The name looks like a person’s (possible sole trader) | That we are hiding something interesting |
Runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere. The check only uses a list of FSA ID numbers from our baseline. See also New vs backlog: how to read a Monday list.
