The standard of food hygiene at Burnham-On-Sea’s War Memorial Hospital has been praised as ‘five star’ in the latest survey by Sedgemoor District Council’s Food Safety Team.
Under the ‘Somerset Food Scores’ scheme, every food premises in the district gets inspected on a regular basis – and the latest monthly list was published on Tuesday (Augsut 11th).
The new study shows five premises in the town, including Burnham Hospital (pictured), have been given maximum scores.
The other five star premises include the Battered Fryer in Oxford Street, Hillview Residential Home, the Mitre restaurant and Sarah’s Pantry.
‘Somerset Food Scores’ is not a competition, nor an award scheme, but a system that allows customers to see how their school, hospital, favourite sandwich bar or restaurant complies with food hygiene regulations.
Environmental Health Officers are required to give a rating at every food inspection on how well the food premises complies with legal requirements, cleanliness and structure. The ratings then prescribe how many stars are achieved – from zero to five – with the top rating showing it fully complies with hygiene regulations.
