Seventeen food outlets across Kirklees have been give a zero out of five rating following hygiene inspections.
The lowest rating was given to nine outlets in Huddersfield, one in Holmfirth and several in other parts of Kirklees.
The list of ratings, which was updated by the council earlier this week, is published on the Scores on the Doors website.
A zero rating means that urgent improvement is required after being judged on:
- How hygienically food has been handled/cooked/cooled/stored
- The condition of the structure of the building and cleanliness
- How the business manages what it does.
Those with ratings of zero are likely to be performing poorly in all three areas, according to the Food Standards Agency.
