NEW food hygiene ratings for 13 eateries across Hampshire have been published by the Food Standards Agency this month.

Listed below are the latest findings of council inspectors, published between February 29 and March 6.

Thousands of premises across Hampshire are rated by the Food Standards Agency, based on the findings of local authority inspectors, who work all year round.

Takeaway with a risk of paint flaking into food and no hand soap is given zero hygiene rating

The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are then rated on a scale.

Five is top of the scale, meaning the hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with the law.

Zero is at the bottom of the scale, meaning urgent improvement is necessary.
