Sunderland City Council food safety inspectors have given a number of local businesses and premises four and five-star food hygiene ratings after assessments were carried out in June and July.

A four-star rating means that “hygiene standards are good”, while reaching a full five-star rating means that inspectors have classified standards as “very good”.
