The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the food hygiene rating reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of the inspection by the local authority. The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality.
The agency says the scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0, which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.
According to inspectors, eateries rated five have “very good” hygiene standards, those rated four are “good”, three stars mean “generally satisfactory”, two “some improvement is necessary” and one “major improvement is necessary”.
Below are 17 eateries in West Northamptonshire that have been awarded a new food hygiene rating in recent weeks.
