WITH the weekend upon us you may fancy heading into Cwmbran or Newport for some shopping - or for today's Christmas lights switch-on event in Newport.
Whilst you are there you may need an all-important lunch stop at Subway.
Thankfully for those fans of the famous sub, Subway has several stores across Cwmbran and Newport.
Here at the Argus we have rounded up all the hygiene ratings of every Subway in Cwmbran and Newport.
The Food Standards Agency rank businesses from zero -meaning urgent improvement is necessary - and five – meaning hygiene standards are very good.
The inspections are carried out by the relevant local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection.
Businesses in Wales are also required to display their hygiene ratings.
Inspectors mark businesses on the following three elements:
- How hygienically the food is handled: How it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.
- The cleanliness and condition of the buildings: The cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities.
- Food safety management: How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe to eat and if the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future.
