Merseyside food hygiene ratings: 214 premises with a rating of 1 or below

There are currently 214 premises on Merseyside which have a food hygiene rating of one or below.

This list was correct at the time of writing. For up-to-date information or to search for the hygiene ratings for premises near you, visit ratings.food.gov.uk.

The scheme from the Food Standards Agency gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

The rating shows how well the business is doing overall, based on standards found at the time of inspection.

A food safety officer from the local council inspects a business to check that it follows food hygiene law so that the food is safe to eat.

According to the Food Standards Agency, at the inspection, the officer will check the following:

• How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

• The physical condition of the business –including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest control and other facilities

• How the business manages ways of keeping food safe, looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained. The officer can then assess the level of confidence in standards being maintained in the future.

The businesses are then given a score between 5 and 0, with 5 meaning the hygiene standards are very good and compliant with the law and 0 meaning urgent improvement is necessary. To get a top rating of 5, businesses must do well in all three criteria.

128 premises in the Liverpool borough have a rating of one or below and include Pronto Pizza on Bold Street (0), Bexleys in Tuebrook (1), Gino D'Acampo on Old Hall Street (1) and Nomad on Smithdown Road (0).

Sefton has nine premises with a score of one or lower. They include Mei Mei Takeaway in Seaforth (1) and Coffee Lili on South Road, Waterloo (1). Knowsley's 18 lower rated premises include Asda in Huyton (1) and New China Palace in Prescot (0).

The Wirral has 51 of these such premises, including Bidston Avenue Primary School (1) and the Queen's Arms in Liscard (0). Eight premises in St Helens have scores of one but none have a rating of zero.
