TODAY the Lancashire Telegraph reveals the latest 'scores on the doors' for takeaways and sandwich shops in Blackburn with Darwen.
It comes as new research revealed that the council served almost 450 written warnings to businesses in the borough for food hygiene issues.
The tough approach has reaped rewards as the latest figures from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) show that not one firm in the borough has a zero rating for hygiene.
Blackburn with Darwen Council environment boss Cllr Jim Smith said: "It is good news that we have no zero-rated food premises.
"We have worked extremely hard to achieve this. This is driven by the customers. It is about hygiene and people's health.
"We would urge people to go to those establishments with high ratings where the owners put them on the doors. Those with lower ratings tend not to but customers can always check the scores online.
"The council would like all food premises to be required to display their hygiene ratings.
"Our staff are working to keep the lack of any zero ratings and to get the one and two-rated premises to to four and five."
So instead of focussing on the worst in the borough, here we publish all the ratings - from 1 to 5 - allowing you to search for your local takeaway to see how it has fared.
