Sunderland City Council food safety inspectors have assessed these businesses for their food hygiene and given them scores of three and four.
A three star rating means that “hygiene standards are generally satisfactory” whereas a four star rating means that “hygiene standards are good”.
Inspectors look at areas such as hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, along with management of food safety, when giving a rating.
