The Comet has compiled a list of food hygiene ratings awarded to food outlets across Central Bedfordshire.

Inspections are carried out to determine how well the business is meeting the law by looking at a number of areas of the business including how hygienically the food is handled, the condition of the structure of the buildings and how the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.

At the end of the inspection, the business is given one of the six ratings. The top rating of five means that the business was found to have ‘very good’ hygiene standards, while the lowest rating of zero means that urgent improvements are necessary. No businesses in the area received the lowest rating.
