Two further Burnham-On-Sea food firms awarded five stars for hygiene

Two food businesses in the Burnham area have been awarded a maximum five stars for their food hygiene practices in the latest survey by Sedgemoor District Council’s Food Safety Team.

Under the 'Somerset Food Scores' scheme, every food premises in the district gets inspected on a regular basis - and a new list has just been published by the council showing the performance of local food providers.

Superchips in the town's High Street and Brunel Care on the town's seafront have been given a maximum score of five stars in the latest survey, while four food providers gained four stars, as shown below.

'Somerset Food Scores' is not a competition, nor an award scheme, but a system that allows customers to see how their school, hospital, favourite sandwich bar or restaurant complies with food hygiene regulations.

Environmental Health Officers, pictured above, are required to give a rating at every food inspection on how well the food premises complies with legal requirements, cleanliness and structure. The ratings then prescribe how many stars are achieved - from zero to five - with the top rating showing it fully complies with hygiene regulations.
