Five Stoke businesses awarded a five star hygiene rating this month
Five Stoke businesses have been awarded a five-star food hygiene rating this 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 31 May:
Cineworld - The Hive, Hanley
Jaflong Curry - Hanley
McDonalds - Leek New Road
The Weathervane - Meir Park
The Corner Pin - Adderley Green
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.
