The Food Standards Agency runs the food hygiene rating scheme in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Inspectors look at the handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, the cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed. They rate venues on a scale of zero to five, with five equating to ‘very good’ and zero meaning ‘urgent improvement’ is necessary. Here is every Leeds restaurant and takeaway awarded a 5* food hygiene rating in April 2024.
