Fancy a takeaway?

If so, there are some fantastic eateries right on your doorstep in Penrith

However, when we are browsing the Just Eat sites looking for the ideal place to dine at, the last thing on our mind is the food hygiene rating of the establishment.

Using data from the Food Standards Agency, we have been able to track down the local takeaways and sandwich shops with a five star food hygiene rating.

According to the data, an impressive 16 places in Penrith received a food hygiene rating of five- how many have you dined at?

How do food hygiene ratings work?

According to the Food Standards Agency, ratings are a snapshot of the standards of food hygiene found at the time of inspection.

It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times.

The inspection includes:

  • how food is prepared
  • cleanliness of facilities
  • how food safety is managed
  • handling of food
  • how food is stored

After the inspection, the eatery is given a food hygiene rating of 0-5.

This is what the numbers mean:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
