KFC is one of the most popular fast-food chains in the world with 22,000 branches across the globe.

You can find nine KFC fast food restaurants across the Teesside area, including Redcar.

If you ever questioned which KFC restaurant is the best when it comes to cleanliness, the answer to your question is held by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

This food hygiene round-up comes after we published a full list of ratings for McDonald's restaurants. So how does KFC compare to the fast food rival?

The FSA make their hygiene ratings public, meaning it's easy to discover how restaurants scored. 

The inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection. 

What do different food hygiene ratings mean?

There are six different ratings that a venue can be awarded from 0 to 5.

5 - Hygiene standards are very good

4 – Hygiene standards are good

3 – Hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – Some improvement is necessary

1 – Major improvement is necessary

0 – Urgent improvement is required

How is KFC assessed?

Inspectors look at a few different key elements when assessing the hygiene of a restaurant including: 

  • How hygienically the food is handled- such as how its prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled, and stored.
  • The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, and other facilities.
  • How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe so the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future.
