INSPECTORS have been visiting eateries across Dorset and continuing to inspect their standards and food hygiene.

Listed below are some of the latest findings by council inspectors, published over the last few weeks.

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

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

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

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

The inspections are broken down into three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and management of food safety.
