In the latest round of food hygiene inspections five takeways in the North East were given the worst possible score.
The Food Hygiene Agency rates all eateries out of five to show if improvements need to be made.
Inspections are carried out regularly throughout the year all across the country.
Assessments look at a range of factors when they make their decisions but they focus on hygiene, safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.

Around the UK everywhere that provides food will have to have an inspection.
In the North East and North Yorkshire, the majority of takeaways and restaurants continue to receive a three and above rating.
But there are a number that have been identified which urgently need improvement.
What each hygiene rating means
0 - Urgent Improvement Necessary
1 - Major Improvement Necessary
2 - Some Improvement Necessary
3 - Hygiene Standards Generally Satisfactory
4 - Hygiene Standards Good
5 - Hygiene Standards Very Good
