Listed: The top 20 high street chains that lead the way on food hygiene ratings

The food standards agency has revealed which of the largest high street chains have the highest proportion of top-score hygiene ratings.

The UK Government body, which is responsible for the five star rating scheme, has released which big names have the highest level of food hygiene to celebrate five years of the scheme.

The ratings are determined by local authority food safety officers and run from zero to five – with a five rating meaning very good food hygiene standards.

Here we list the 20 that made the list along with the percentage of their locations that have five stars.

We also detail the top five alongside the most recent ratings at their Teesside outlets.
