The 50 Portsmouth businesses rated one out of five for food hygiene

They were all last inspected in 2017, 2018 or 2019. Businesses are rated for their level of hygiene food handling (cooking, cooling and storage etc), cleanliness and condition of facilities and buildings (layout, ventilation, hand-washing etc), and management of food safety (are systems and checks in place?). A rating of 1 means major improvement is necessary and is the second lowest rating after 0 – meaning urgent improvement is necessary. Businesses are given a rating of between 0 and 5. Some of the businesses may have closed or changed ownership, but still have a rating with the Food Standards Agency. Click here to see responses from some of the businesses on the list.
