THESE are the five takeaways and food outlets in the region that have just been given either a one or zero-star food hygiene rating.
The latest scores on the doors from the Food Standards Agency has shown which takeaways and businesses have been ordered to make improvements.
A Darlington business is among the three that have been given a zero-star hygiene rating - while two businesses have been given a one.
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.
In 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 which must either make "urgent" or "major" improvements.
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
So we've rounded up the latest results from inspections carried out in April and May where the ratings have just been published by the Food Standards Agency.
