The team at South Tyneside Council regularly give businesses, shops and premises food hygiene ratings following assessments.
These are the new ratings for South Tyneside businesses which were awarded new star ratings across the final weeks of December 2024, with the majority getting a perfect score as we move into the new year.
Ratings range from zero to five stars, with zero meaning urgent improvement is required, one-star meaning major improvement is necessary, two-stars indicating some improvement is necessary, three meaning hygiene standards are generally satisfactory while four means hygiene standards are good and five means standards are very good.
All information is correct at the time of writing according to the Food Standards Agency.
