Two takeaways in Crewe have been hit with a one-star food hygiene rating, according to recent Food Standard Agency (FSA) reports.

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 one-star hygiene rating means 'major improvement is necessary' for the business (FSA).

It gives businesses a rating from zero to five, displayed at their premises and online.

A one-star hygiene rating means "major improvement is necessary" for the business.

All information was taken from the Food Standard Agency website as of Thursday 5 December:

• Flames Fast Food, 24 West Street (Kebab Shop) - One Star - (17 October, 2024)

Flames, West Street, was rated one-star for food hygiene on 17 October (Nub News).

• Jelfrezi Curry House, 81 Nantwich Road (Indian) - One Star - (16 October, 2024)

Jelfrezi Curry House, Nantwich Road, was rated one-star for food hygiene on 16 October (Jelfrezi).

A food safety officer from Cheshire East Council inspected the Crewe takeaways to check they were 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 - generally satisfactory (three-star)
• Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building – good (three-star)
• Management of food safety - major improvement necessary (one-star)

Flames and Jelfrezi Curry House were rated one-star based on their management of food safety.

It was deemed their hygienic food handling was 'generally satisfactory'," along with their cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building.

Crewe Nub News has contacted the takeaways for comment.
