Whether you're nipping in for a couple of bits or are on a mission to replace some ripped school trousers, supermarkets are a convenient place for us to visit for all our essentials. Many bigger stores also have cafes, so you can sit down for a cuppa and a cake, and others have delis, fishmongers, meat counters and more.
They are certainly convenient places to get everything you need, but have you ever stopped to wonder how clean the supermarket is? Well, like anywhere where food is supplied, sold or consumed, supermarkets have a food hygiene rating, which is given by a food safety officer from the local authority.
They range from zero stars up to a maximum of five and the rating is based on how food is handled, stored and prepared, the cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed.
