A CHINESE takeaway in Stourport has been handed a new four-out-of-five food hygiene rating.

China Garden, at 8 High Street, Stourport, was given a score of four on March 9.

The FSA rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.
