Popular Doncaster restaurant told to make major improvements after zero star food hygiene rating

Bosses at the Fortune Cantonese restaurant in Hatfield have been told major improvements are required after a recent inspection.

The report said that improvements were needed in areas such as hygiene, cleanliness and food preparation.

The inspection, carried out on November 7, said the restaurant in Manor Road requires major improvement in the following areas:

Hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage

Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building (including having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control) to enable good food hygiene

System or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future

The report said that major improvement was required across all areas of the restaurant.

The Food Standards Agency is an independent Government department working across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to protect public health and consumers' wider interests in food.

Inspections are carried out on a regular basis at all premises where food prepared, cooked and served with ratings given from zero to five, zero being the worst and five being the best.

The Food Hygiene Rating scheme is designed to give customers clear information about the businesses’ hygiene standards and is run in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
