More than 500 care providers in the U.K., including 19 hospitals and other NHS facilities, have failed hygiene and food safety inspections, according to an article on The Guardian website.
Food Standards Agency data shows that care homes fail to meet food hygiene standards more than any other type of care provider, with more than 200 residential, nursing and care homes receiving low grades at their latest food safety inspections.
An overwhelming majority (more than 98 perfect) of hospitals and other care providers achieve a food hygiene rating of three (out of five) or better.
Eight care providers still in operation scored zero, including six residential care homes, one nursery and one after-school care facility, which has since stopped preparing food for children.
