Just Eat has booted a Leeds takeaway with a zero star food hygiene rating from its site after rat droppings were found in the utensil box, work surfaces and in the basement.
Chicken Hut in Dewsbury Road, Beeston, was given the lowest possible rating, meaning ‘urgent improvements are necessary’ after inspectors visited on July 5. The takeaway had been operating on Just Eat ever since.
Its name change to Chicken Hot, which it is registered as with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) website, possibly caused it to slip underneath the radar. Due to Just Eat's policy to not allow establishments below three star to operate on the platform, it can no longer take orders from there until it gets a better rating.
