Next time you want to go out for food, you might want to check which places in Wales have been given a zero rating for their food hygiene.

Restaurants, takeaways, corner shops and pubs are among the places given the lowest rating possible by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

Each establishment receives their rating following an inspection conducted by a food safety officer from their local council.

If they are given a zero food hygiene rating, it means that urgent improvement is necessary. If they are given a five rating, the highest, it means hygiene standards are “very good”.

Things taken into account when judging an establishment’s hygiene rating include:

How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

The condition of the building – cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities

How the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.

Listed below are the places in Wales rated zero according to the FSA’s website, correct at the time of publication.

Each one has also been checked with the relevant local authority to check they have not been recently re-inspected and given an improved rating.

A spokesman for Neath Port Talbot council said: "Neither premises appealed against the accuracy of their scoring (the appeal period has since ended for each).

"Both premises have already been subject to additional follow up visits, although these do not qualify as inspections for generating new ratings (as they are classed as enforcement revisits).

"Premises have an option to apply for a new rating assessment (although there is an application fee of £160 to cover this additional inspection and associated work - the same fee exists across Wales).

"Businesses are not compelled to apply for an additional rating inspection - this is optional for each business to consider.

"Neither business has yet received a re-rating assessment, so their ratings remain 0. One business has applied for a rescore, which will be undertaken within the standard time frame - being 3 months from application. (In the absence of a request for a re-rating assessment, their ratings get reviewed at their next proactive/programmed inspection)."

"However, it is pleasing to note that the Food Businesses Operators (FBOs) within these three premises have fully co-operated and worked with the environmental health team subsequently, to ensure food safety is paramount and consumers are not at risk.

"The FBOs have addressed the original contraventions and if they were to apply for FHRS re-rate inspections, then it is anticipated from the work undertaken and the procedures implemented, that the premises would no longer be rated zeros on the next unannounced inspection."
