A total of 17 businesses in the North East have been slapped with a poor hygiene rating in the last two months.
The Food Hygiene ratings show that a number of businesses have been told in the last few weeks that they need to make improvements.
The ratings, which are based on hygiene and safety, structural compliance, and confidence in management are routinely updated.
Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals, and care homes are given a hygiene rating.
In the North East and North Yorkshire, the vast majority of takeaways and restaurants continue to receive a rating of three or above.
But, there are a number that are identified as causes for concern which must either make "urgent" or "major" improvements.
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
