FOOD hygiene ratings are more important than ever when choosing somewhere to grab a takeaway from, so we have put together a list of takeaways and places where you can buy a sandwich or snack that have the best possible food hygiene ratings.
Food outlets across the county are routinely visited by a food hygiene inspector from the council and given a rating of zero to five.
Establishments with three consecutive five star hygiene ratings are given an 'elite' rating.
This is to show customers if a restaurant has a consistent record of achieving the top food hygiene score.
However, the lack of an Elite award should not bring into question in any way the compliance of a business which has already achieved the top rating - with many not having had the chance to be inspected three times - especially given the impact of the pandemic.
To build up three sets of the top rating can take more than four years.
