21 Shropshire businesses awarded new food hygiene ratings in latest inspections

Twenty-one food establishments across Shropshire have been awarded the highest possible food hygiene rating in recent weeks following inspections by environmental health officers.

The Food Standards Agency's food hygiene rating scheme gives businesses a score from zero to five, with five meaning hygiene standards are considered "very good".

Food hygiene ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency and reflect standards found at the time of inspection.

Businesses are assessed on hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities, and how food safety is managed.
