Food hygiene ratings are an important factor in determining where to eat or buy food from.

A high rating indicates a business takes keeping food safe to eat, and the premises safe to be in, seriously.

A low rating, however, can indicate that standards of care in terms of things like cross-contamination, hand-washing, allergies, cleaning, and the quality of the building itself, are low.

It can also mean bookkeeping on food hygiene is poor.

We have found all the businesses listed on the Food Standards Agency's website, that are in the Cumberland Council area, with food hygiene ratings of one out of five, indicating that 'major improvement' is necessary.
