A score of 45-50 points will warrant a rating of 1 – the more points a business gets, the worse their food hygiene rating is.

This rating typically means that there are many breaches of food hygiene regulations and codes of best practice. More often than not, a lack of training within the business is a key component in this low rating.

Jade Garden Chinese Takeaway, based at 82 Newbiggin Road in Ashington, has also been given a score of one after being assessed on the same day.
