Some 29 businesses across Wales have received the worst possible food hygiene rating — including a historic pub and a care home.
The Food Standards Agency classes businesses with zero stars out of five as needing "urgent improvement". Council inspectors visit premises and consider how food is handled, stored and prepared. They also look at how clean facilities are and how food safety is managed.
If an inspector finds there is an imminent risk to public health they have the power to stop part of the operation or close it down entirely until the issues are addressed. They can also set a deadline for improvements.
