A HALESOWEN takeaway has been handed a new hygiene rating.

Zilanis Asian Grill, at 188a Stourbridge Road, was given a score of three on March 1.

Meanwhile Chinese takeaway Gornal Dynasty, on Kent Street, Lower Gornal, was given a five-out-of-five rating after assessment on April 19.

The ratings are published on the Food Standards Agency’s website which rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.

People can see the results of all food hygiene inspections via Dudley Council’s website or on the national ratings.food.gov.uk website.
