NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to two of Dudley’s takeaways, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.
The Spice Merchant, at 25 High Street, Quarry Bank, was handed a three-out-of-five rating after assessment on October 16.
And Happy Garden, at Happy Garden Take Away, 474 High Street, Kingswinford, was also given a score of three on October 2.
It means that of Dudley's 262 takeaways with ratings, 113 (43 per cent) have ratings of five and none have zero ratings.
The ratings have been published on the Food Standards Agency’s website which rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.
A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.
People can see the results of all food hygiene inspections via Dudley Council’s website or on the national ratings.food.gov.uk website.
