DOZENS of Thurrock restaurants, takeaways and cafes have failed food hygiene inspections because they are dirty or have poor procedures.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) ranks all food providers with a score of zero to five.
A zero rating signifies that the establishment “urgently requires improvement”.
Between zero and two is considered a failing grade, and three to five is satisfactory to excellent.
Here is the list according to the Food Standards Agency.

Businesses are not required to display their food hygiene scores in England and Scotland. In November 2013, Wales made it mandatory for food establishments to publicly display their ratings, which led to a significant improvement in safety. This mandatory display policy will be introduced in Northern Ireland on 7 October.
