Crewe shop slapped with zero-star food hygiene rating

A Crewe convenience store has been slapped 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.
