SOME 14 Southampton food businesses have been slapped with poor hygiene ratings.

The most recent Food Standards Agency scores show more than a dozen takeaways and businesses needing some or major improvements.

The ratings are based on hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.

Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals and care homes are given a hygiene rating.

 

What each hygiene rating means

0 - Urgent improvement necessary
1 - Major improvement necessary
2 - Some improvement necessary
3 - Hygiene standards generally satisfactory
4 - Hygiene standards good
5 - Hygiene standards very good

All ratings are as listed by the FSA on its website at the time of creating this list on Friday, August 5.
