What is “one star for hygiene” in the understanding of British food service inspectors (8 photos)
14 February 2024
In the city of Leeds (Yorkshire, UK), a Chinese eatery was found that violates accepted sanitary and hygienic standards. Inspectors gave this food establishment one star for dirt and general clutter. What did they see there? 
Complete mess 
Cluttered shelves and countertops 
Leftover dried food 
French fries left on the counter 
Sinks, pots and pans that are not clean 
Dirty refrigerator 
Cooking oil that is not stored properly 
A one-star overall hygiene rating means the food establishment needs serious improvement. The hygienic processing of products was considered satisfactory, but the inspectors recommended work on the cleanliness and condition of the premises.
