E D Food Hygiene

[Old Yeller]

Interesting read on food hygiene in today?s Independent. So I checked out some local restaurants and shops to see how they score ?see below? Some very interesting results indeed. Shows that paying extortionate prices is no guarantee that your food has been handled safely.

Anyone think that restaurants/food outlets should be obliged to display results of their environmental health checks?

You can check out any food outlets at www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk.

Quote below from today?s Independent.

?Any restaurant scoring 2 stars (more effort required to meet all legal requirements) is unsafe. Lower scores indicate imminent danger. I would expect those with a score of zero to be closed on the spot???..The public should be concerned. If a restaurant is cutting corners with hygiene then it is contaminating food which, ultimately, has the potential to kill.

Poor hygiene in restaurants is bad business as well as bad public health, and customers should avoid restaurants with zero, one or two like the plague?. Professor Hugh Pennington, Emeritus Professor of Bacteriology, University of Aberdeen.

Hi,

I had to eat at the Harvester with the extended family for my mother in law's birthday. Does anyone know the rating of this place please, as if it scores low, I can put my case for not going in there again.

Regards,

Libra Carr.
