Hygiene ratings are scored on a scale from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating the lowest level of compliance and classified as “urgent improvement necessary” by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). Generally, any rating below a 3 is considered unsatisfactory, signaling health risks to customers. The assessments take into account several factors, including cleanliness, food preparation, and storage practices, to ensure public safety.
