The Trafford Centre’s food outlets have recently been given one- and two‑star hygiene ratings by the Food Standards Agency, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.
The ratings reflect the centre’s failure to meet the standard requirements for food safety and hygiene during inspections. According to the Manchester Evening News, several vendors within the mall were assessed, prompting concerns about the cleanliness and safe handling of food sold there.
Food hygiene ratings in the UK range from zero to five stars, with higher scores indicating better compliance with health and safety regulations. Low scores can lead to warnings, mandatory improvement plans, and, in extreme cases, closure of premises.
