While no details have been released as to the reason for the poor hygiene rating, it is understood officials will have examined the hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage. The cleanliness and the condition of its facilities and building would also be assessed by inspectors.
Responding to the report, a spokesperson for Asda said: “We take the hygiene of our stores extremely seriously and can reassure customers we have plans in place to rectify the issues identified in the recent inspection at our Huyton store.
