Birmingham among UK's worst food hygiene areas for second year in a row

摘要

Birmingham and Hyndburn have been named as the UK’s worst areas for food hygiene for the second year running. They failed to come up to scratch across a range of areas including the number of high and medium-risk food businesses which keep to hygiene standards, the amount of premises which opened but were not visited or given a risk rating, as well as the number of interventions that had to be carried out, according to a study by Which?. Birmingham City Council had a poor record for carrying out inspections within 28 days of a food business opening, with 16% of the city’s more than 8,000 food businesses yet to be rated, according to the consumer group’s report.
