The 14 Sunderland businesses awarded four and five star food hygiene ratings since February, according to the Food Standards Agency

Sunderland City Council food safety inspectors have awarded these Sunderland businesses four and five star food hygiene ratings after visiting the venues to carry out assessments.

A five-star rating is top of the scale, and means “the hygiene standards are very good” and fully comply with the law, while a four star rating means “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.
