NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to six of St Helens’ establishments, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.
The ratings, given in January, represent a positive start for the year for local food and drink venues.
The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so people can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.
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
