Four Swansea businesses received zero food hygiene ratings. Urgent improvements are needed in food handling and cleanliness.
The Food Standards Agency rates these places, and zero stars mean “urgent improvement.” Inspectors look at how places handle food, checking storage and preparation methods. Cleanliness matters, as does food safety management.
Inspectors can shut places down if there’s a public health risk. They can also give deadlines for fixes. This info is public on the Food Standards Agency website.
Star Restaurant, a takeaway on Green Dragon Lane, was checked on October 25, 2024. Inspectors found major issues with food handling; cleanliness was also a big problem, and food safety management needed major work.
An employee said the roof leaked in the kitchen and mentioned the building is old. They paid for a new rating soon and think things will be better, as they used to have three stars.
