SUPERMARKETS across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are subject to the same standards as any other shop, cafe or restaurant when it comes to hygiene. 

Each week, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspects businesses across the country, assessing hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.     

Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals and care homes are given a hygiene rating. 

But how does your supermarket fair? 

What each hygiene rating means:     

0 - Urgent improvement necessary     

1 - Major improvement necessary   

2 - Some improvement necessary       

3 - Hygiene standards generally satisfactory         

4 - Hygiene standards good      

5 - Hygiene standards very good
