There are 40 restaurants and businesses across Wales that currently (at the time of publication) have a zero food hygiene rating.

Businesses are given a food hygiene rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online.

The aim of this rating, according to the Food Standards Agency, is "so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food".

According to the Food Standards Agency, zero ratings are given to businesses where "urgent improvement is required".

The Food Standards Agency website said: "Businesses which are given low ratings must make urgent or major improvements to hygiene standards. 

"If the officer finds that a business’s hygiene standards are very poor and there is an imminent risk to public health, when food may be unsafe to eat, the officer must act to ensure consumers are protected.

"This could result in stopping part of the business or closing it down completely until it is safe to recommence."

The ratings are based on:

  • Handling of food
  • How food is stored
  • How food is prepared
  • Cleanliness of facilities
  • How food safety is managed

All the ratings are available through the Food Standards Agency website.

Here are all the restaurants and businesses in Wales that, at the time of publication, have a zero food hygiene rating.
