The restaurants with the worst food hygiene ratings in Grays have been revealed.
Four restaurants, cafes or takeaways in the area received a rating of one star after an inspection from the Food Standards Agency.
In the reports, which are available online, the units are given a rating based on three criteria. These are:
Hygienic food handling - Hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage.
Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building - Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building (including having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control) to enable good food hygiene.
Management of food safety - System or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future.
A one star rating for an establishment signifies that 'major improvements are necessary'.
