New hygiene ratings given to Chesterfield businesses – including takeaway ordered to make major improvements

Watchdogs have ordered a Chesterfield takeaway to make major improvements after issuing new hygiene ratings to businesses across the town.

New food hygiene ratings have been awarded to a number of the town’s establishments, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

The ratings scheme helps you choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving you clear information about businesses’ hygiene standards – it is not a guide to the qulaity of the food on offer.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food. The ratings are:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
