ELEVEN businesses across the region have been handed a poor food hygiene rating in inspections carried out in the past several weeks.
The most recent scores on the doors from the Food Standards Agency shows which takeaways and businesses have been told to make improvements.
Two dessert shops from the same chain are among those that have been given a one star hygiene rating - while three businesses have been given a zero.
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 May and June where the ratings have just been published by the Food Standards Agency.
