How clean is your takeaway?

I have known about Scores On The Doors for a while but I didn’t know about the app until recently.

I don’t order a takeaway without checking this first, it’s nice to know the takeaway I am ordering from is clean and following food hygiene practises.

Basically, Scores On The Doors is a national local authority/Food Standards Agency partnership initiative. The scheme provides consumers with information about hygiene standards in food premises at the time they are inspected by local authority food safety officers to check compliance with legal requirements.

The food hygiene rating given reflects the inspection findings. The purpose is to allow consumers to make informed choices about the places where they eat out or shop for food thereby encouraging businesses to improve their hygiene standards.

Download the app to see all your local Takeaway and Restaurants ratings. I was quite surprised to see that my local takeaway had a very low hygiene rating!
