A total of 7 businesses across the North East have been slammed with the worst food hygiene ratings after the latest round of inspections.
Food hygiene scores from the Food Standards Agency show that a number of takeaways across the region have been told they need to make improvements.
Ratings are routinely carried out every few years across the whole country.
They are based on a range of factors from hygiene, safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.
Around the UK every restaurant, hospital, takeaway and cafe has to have inspections.
