TWO North-East takeaways have been handed a zero rating and five others given a one rating in the most recent round of inspections.
Most recent ratings published by the Food Standards Agency shows which takeaways have been ordered to make improvements.
The ratings, which are based on hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management, are routinely updated.
Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals and care homes are given a hygiene rating.
Across the North-East and North Yorkshire, the majority of takeaways and restaurants continue to receive a three and above rating.
But there are a number which are identified as causes for concern.
This is what each hygiene rating means
0 - Urgent Improvement Necessary
1 - Major Improvement Necessary
2 - Some Improvement Necessary
3 - Hygiene Standards Generally Satisfactory
4 - Hygiene Standards Good
5 - Hygiene Standards Very Good
We've rounded up the latest results from inspections carried out in December and January where the ratings have just been published.
