A Crewe halal shop has been hit with a zero-star food hygiene rating, according to a recent Food Standard Agency (FSA) report.

The FSA Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is aimed at helping people choose where to eat out or shop for food.

This scheme is in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A zero-star hygiene rating means 'urgent improvement is required' for the business (FSA).

It gives businesses a rating from 0 to 5 - displayed at their premises and online.

A food safety officer from Cheshire East Council inspected the Crewe halal shop to check it was following food hygiene law and ensuring the food sold was safe to eat.

At all inspections, the officer checked the following three elements: 

• Hygienic food handling - improvement necessary (two-star)
• Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building – generally satisfactory (three-star)
• Management of food safety - urgent improvement necessary (zero-star)

Cheshire Halal Meat Centre was rated zero-star based on these checks.
