By law any business selling food in Wales is given a hygiene rating between zero and five, depending on inspection.
The Food Standards Agency is responsible for dishing up ratings, from zero to five, on food hygiene standards. Zero is the lowest, meaning those who score this need to make "urgent" improvements or they may risk closure.
The rating is determined by looking at three elements:
- Hygiene
- The condition of the structure of the buildings
- Food safety
A hygiene rating of 1 means major improvement is necessary. Picture: FSA
