Take a look at the latest Wigan hygiene ratings which include one takeaway that has earned a shocking zero

Lowton Tandoori Takeaway in Lowton was awarded a rating of zero, meaning urgent improvement is necessary.

Officials from the Food Standards Agency often conduct impromptu visits to a number of food-serving premises across the borough — the most recent assessments coming from August.

These ratings are not about food quality. Instead, the scheme aims to help the public choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving people clear information about a businesses’ hygiene standards.

Out of 98 inspections that month, 36 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating. Twenty five venues earned a four, while a further 22 businesses earned three stars.

Half a dozen eateries landed a two, and eight establishments have earned one star.

One earned a zero

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of safe food handling, and the ratings offer transparency for anyone wanting peace of mind when dining out or ordering food.

These inspections ensure that food-serving venues adhere to strict hygiene protocols that protect public health.

A higher rating reflects not only good food safety practices but also that the eatery is a well-maintained environment where cleanliness and proper facility management are evident.

The Food Standards Agency encourages establishments to improve their hygiene performance, helping customers make informed and safe dining choices across the borough.

Businesses are scored from zero to five on a variety of different components such as how food is handled from preparation and cooking to reheating and storage.

Inspectors also assess cleanliness, the layout and structure of the building, lighting, ventilation, and how well the premises are managed overall.

This review ensures that all aspects of food safety are regularly addressed and maintained.

All ratings were correct on the Food Standards Agency website as of August 2025.
