Popular restaurants and takeaways are among the places given one of the lowest ratings possible by the Food Standards Agency.
Each establishment receives its rating following an inspection conducted by a food safety officer from the council.
If they are given a zero food hygiene rating, it means that urgent improvement is necessary. If they are given a five rating, the highest, it means hygiene standards are “very good”.
One star ratings mean that major improvement is necessary.
A total of 24 establishments in Wirral have fallen foul of the Food Standards Agency’s (FSA) food hygiene rating scheme and have been given one star food hygiene.
How is the scoring done?
The scores are done by local authority hygiene teams. A health officer will look at three criteria types during an inspection:
- How hygienically the food is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.
- The cleanliness, layout, lighting and ventilation of the building.
- How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe.
