NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to two Dudley cafes, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

Café Duncan at the Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre, at Constitution Hill, Dudley was handed a four-out-of-five rating after an assessment on November 3.

And Planet Play, also at the Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre, at Constitution Hill, Dudley was also given a score of four on November 3.

The ratings have been published on the Food Standards Agency’s website which rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.

People can see the results of all food hygiene inspections via Dudley Council’s website or on the national ratings.food.gov.uk website.
