A NUMBER of Warrington eateries have had food hygiene ratings updated this month, according to the Food Standards Agency.
The FSA is responsible for rating establishments with scores from one to five based on the preparation, handling, and management of food, as well as the cleanliness of the establishment.
Customers will be familiar with the green hygiene stickers that many eateries display, ranking their establishment out of five stars.
17 registered eateries have had their ratings updated in the latest data - it should be noted that there is a delay between the FSA inspection and the date the new rating is made available.
Four takeaways in Warrington have been slapped with a one out of five hygiene rating in the latest data available.
The eateries with one-star hygiene ratings are:
- 84 Thai Chilli, Chester Road - inspected on March 2
- Brothers Burgers, Bold Street - inspected on March 2
- Chesters @ 84, Chester Road - inspected on March 8
- Chinese Garden, Knutsford Road - inspected on March 8
Reasons given by the FSA for the low hygiene ratings include 'major improvement necessary' in the management of food safety, and 'improvement necessary' in the hygienic handling of food.
