Guernsey Dairy hygiene rating drops

Guernsey Dairy's hygiene rating has dropped from four stars to two after a States inspection.

The inspectors have said that improvement is necessary

Environmental Health Officers carry out food hygiene inspections at all businesses that supply or prepare food for the public within the Bailiwick.

As part of the inspection officers assess three key areas to calculate the star rating;

• Hygienic food handling practices

• Cleanliness and the condition of the facilities and building

• Management of food safety

The Dairy says the milk is safe to drink and they're going to lobby the government for better facilities.

Longer term, we're taking a policy letter to the states of Guernsey hopefully we'll be doing that in the next few months and that will look at options on what we're going to do, where we're going to go for the future.
