A TAKEAWAY has been ordered to carry out major improvements after scoring zero in a food hygiene inspection.

Seaside Kebab in Kings Road, Brighton, was given the rating - meaning urgent improvements are necessary - following a Brighton and Hove City Council inspection on September 24.

A report published online stated that improvements were necessary in the hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage

It said major improvements were needed in the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and the building - including having an appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control - to enable good food hygiene.

Major improvements were also necessary in the management of food safety, relating to the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat and evidence that staff know about food safety.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is the independent government department working to protect public health and consumers’ wider interests in relation to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
