The Sunderland businesses which have been given zero or one star food hygiene ratings since July

Food Standards Agency inspectors have awarded these Sunderland establishments zero and one-start food hygiene ratings in July and August.

If a venue is given a zero-star rating, it means that "urgent improvement is required", while one star means "major improvement is necessary".

Businesses are rated on hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, along with management of food safety.

Inspectors use the three categories to recommend where a business can improve if necessary.

The ratings are those displayed on the Goverment’s food hygiene agency website – https://ratings.food.gov.uk/ – on October 5, 2021.
