How clean is your local McDonald’s?

It’s no secret Merseyside loves a good McDonald’s, but how clean is your local fast food restaurant? The fast food giant has almost 40 restaurants across Merseyside, selling Big Macs, chicken nuggets and everything in between.
We’ve taken a look at all the McDonald’s on Merseyside to see how the Food Standards Agency (FSA) rates them. Food Standards Agency inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website every time a new inspection by the council is conducted.
Ratings are given by Environmental Health Officers following an inspection of a food business, and range from zero to five stars, with zero indicating urgent improvement is required, one-star meaning major improvement is necessary, two-stars indicating some improvement is necessary, three meaning hygiene standards are generally satisfactory while four means hygiene standards are good and five means standards are very good.
Ratings are based on how hygienically the food is handled, the condition of the premises and how food safety is managed. Premises with a poor hygiene rating of zero to one are subject to more frequent inspections and will have enforcement action taken against them to secure the necessary improvements.
We’ve compiled a full list of 38 McDonald’s restaurants across Merseyside and how they rate for hygiene.
