SEVENTY-three takeaways in Bolton have a five food hygiene rating, the highest that can be awarded.

Out of the 334 takeaways in Bolton, 72 have a rating of four meaning that their hygiene is good, 94 have a three rating which is generally satisfactory and 31 have a rating of two, which means they are in need of improvement.

There are only five takeaways in Bolton that have a rating of zero, meaning that they are in need of urgent improvement.

The food hygiene rating scheme is designed to help shoppers decide where to eat out or buy food.

The rating gives customers an idea of how well the business is keeping the takeaway clean and tidy.

A food hygiene rating is worked out by a food safety officer who visits the business to see if it meets the requirements of food hygiene law.

The officer looks at how hygienically the food is handled, the condition of the structure of the buildings and how the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe.
