Cardiff Restaurants and Shops Receive Zero Food Hygiene Ratings
The Food Standards Agency uses a zero-to-five star system. Zero stars mean “urgent improvement” is needed. Inspectors assess food handling, storage and prep. Cleanliness and safety management also count. If a risk is high, they can stop operations and even close the place completely. They may allow time for changes.
This info comes from the Food Standards Agency website. Ratings match the site’s current info. The news tried to contact each business listed.
Tukka Tuk is at Capital Point, Trowbridge, Cardiff. It is a manufacturer for a restaurant group. Inspectors visited on December 4, 2024. They found food handling needed work. Building cleanliness was generally okay, but food safety management needed urgent help. The business responded to the rating.
Tukka Tuk’s director said this affects their kitchen. The issue involves vacuum pack machines, and they need approval to keep using them. They asked the environmental health office to approve documents. They aren’t using the machines right now, and they will appeal and make updates once agreed. They take pride in high ratings.
Quick Shop is on Clifton Street, Adamsdown, Cardiff. It is a convenience shop and bakery. They got inspected on June 11, 2024. Food handling needed improvement, building cleanliness was satisfactory overall, and food safety management needed urgent work. This was the second zero rating in six months.
