Which fast food chain outlets on the Isle of Wight are rated the best for hygiene in the Food Standards Agency (FSA) ratings?
The FSA ratings, assessed by the IW Council’s environmental health department, provide an interesting insight into the standards maintained by these popular eateries.
If you have ever wondered which restaurant is best for cleanliness, the FSA makes its hygiene ratings public, meaning it is easy to discover how they scored.
What the ratings mean:
There are six different ratings that a venue can be awarded from 0 to 5.
- 5 - Hygiene standards are very good
- 4 – Hygiene standards are good
- 3 – Hygiene standards are generally satisfactory
- 2 – Some improvement is necessary
- 1 – Major improvement is necessary
- 0 – Urgent improvement is required
How are restaurants assessed?
Inspectors look at a few different elements when assessing the hygiene of a restaurant, including:
How hygienically the food is handled - such as how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.
The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities.
How the business ensures food is safe, prompting the officer to be confident that standards will be maintained in the future.
