NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to four Wirral establishments in October 2022 according to the Food Standards Agency’s website

Inspectors go anywhere from restaurants, pubs, and cafes to takeaways, food vans, canteens, and stalls.

The inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection. 

What do different food hygiene ratings mean?

There are six different ratings that a venue can be awarded from 0 to five. Here's what the ratings mean:

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.

All information was taken from the FSA website and was correct at the time of writing.
