Five Stoke businesses have been awarded a five-star food hygiene rating in the past month - Nub News investigates which ones they are.
The Food Standard Agency (FSA) Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, is aimed at helping people choose where to eat out or shop for food.
The FSA scheme is in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It gives businesses a rating from 0 to 5 - displayed at their premises and online.
A five-star hygiene rating means 'hygiene standards are very good' for the business.
All information was taken from the Food Standard Agency website as of 2 August:
Jackson's - Stoke Indoor Market
Asda - Fenton and Bucknall
The supermarkets were inspected on 10 and 20 July (Google).
P & L Stores - Stoke
Broadway Fish Bar - Meir
This busy fish and chip shop was awarded a five-star hygiene rating following an inspection on 24 July (Google).
Cafe Continental - Longton
A food safety officer from Stoke-on-Trent City Council inspected the Stoke businesses to check that they were following food hygiene law so that the food was safe to eat.
At all inspections, the officer checked the following three elements:
- How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored
- The physical condition of the business –including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest control and other facilities
- How the business manages ways of keeping food safe, looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained. The officer can then assess the level of confidence in standards being maintained in the future.
The five listed Stoke businesses were rated five-star based on all these checks.
