NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to four of Dudley’s establishments, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

The following ratings have been given to two restaurants, cafes or canteens:

• Rated 4: Brecks at 74 High Street, Dudley; rated on July 23.

• Rated 0: Top UKs Fried Chicken at 220 Wolverhampton Street, Dudley; rated on June 11.

And two ratings have been handed to takeaways:

• Rated 4: Kent Rd Fish Bar at 103 Kent Road, Halesowen; rated on June 19.

• Rated 1: Hong Kong Express at 88 Watsons Green Road, Dudley; rated on June 19.

The ratings have been published on the Food Standards Agency’s website which rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.

People can see the results of all food hygiene inspections via Dudley Council’s website or on the national ratings.food.gov.uk website.
