Nine businesses across North Wales have been told that "urgent improvements" are necessary after being given a food hygiene rating of zero.

The rating, given by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), is the lowest possible rating handed out by the independent government department.

The FSA's aim is to make sure that food is safe and is what it says it is, and inspectors regularly carry out checks on how hygienically food is handled, the condition of the structure of buildings and how it manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.

The ratings go from zero to five - zero means that urgent improvement is necessary, and five shows that the business was seen as very good.

Within two weeks of receiving a rating, businesses receive a formal written assessment of why they received their rating, which is intended to help businesses improve or maintain standards.

The information in the following list has been provided by the Food Standards Agency and is correct as of Thursday, July 4, 2019.
