Wigan food hygiene: the food-serving venues awarded new ratings by the Food Standards Agency in February

Shimla Spice on Gerard Street in Ashton ended 2023 with zero stars.

Following a re-inspection, the establishment has been awarded a three which is considered generally satisfactory.

Officials from the Food Standards Agency often conduct impromptu visits to food-serving premises across the borough - the most recent assessments coming from February.

Out of 51 inspections that month, 34 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Five venues earned a four, while four businesses earned a three.

Two eateries landed a two and half a dozen establishments earned one star.

At the beginning of 2024 out of Wigan’s 100 restaurants, cafes and canteens to be awarded ratings so far, 66 (66 per cent) have ratings of five.

Three have been awarded zero stars.

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

They also look at the cleanliness, layout and structure of the building when it comes to lighting, ventilation and how it is managed.
