Ratings are applied from five down to zero – with five defined as “hygiene standards are very good” and zero meaning “urgent improvement is required”.
The Food Standards Agency say ratings are a “snapshot” of the standards of food hygiene found at the time of inspection.
They add: “It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times.”
Assessment criteria include: handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed.
