A NUMBER of cafés, pubs, restaurants and takeaways across Dorset and parts of west Hampshire have been handed new food hygiene ratings recently.
An Indian restaurant with the lowest score possible told ‘urgent improvement is necessary’ and an Italian with a top score are both included in this week’s round-up.
Each week, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspects businesses across the country, assessing hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.
Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals and care homes are given a hygiene rating.
What each hygiene rating means:
0 - Urgent improvement necessary
1 - Major improvement necessary
2 - Some improvement necessary
3 - Hygiene standards generally satisfactory
4 - Hygiene standards good
5 - Hygiene standards very good
