There isn’t a Costa in Pembrokeshire without a five-star food hygiene rating.

Legally, every business must be assessed by the local authority and receive a score from one to five.

Zero is the equivalent of urgent improvement needed while five means food hygiene is excellent.

During assessment, inspectors look at three elements of food hygiene:

  • Management of food safety: Making sure all served food is safe to eat, evidence that staff are aware of food safety and assurance from the food safety officer that standards will be maintained.
  • Hygienic food handling: Ensuring that food is storing, cooling, reheating, cooking and preparation of food is conducted in a hygienic manner.
  • Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building: This criterion includes ventilation to ensure proper food hygiene, hand washing facilities, pest control and a suitable layout.

All of the ratings mentioned in this article were taken from the Food Standards Agency website and the information is listed from June 27, 2024.
