11 May 2007 - FIVE STARS FOR STEVENAGE HAVEN
Stevenage Haven was recently awarded the top 5 Star rating for its food hygiene at Chris Foster House, its emergency single homeless hostel.
Thanks go to all staff for following the food hygiene regulations and particularly to Nina Jaspal who looks after the kitchen and keeps all the staff and volunteers on their toes and Frankie Trudgill, the hostel manager, who is a qualified food hygiene trainer.

Stevenage Borough Council has introduced a scheme called "Scores on the Doors". The idea is for all food businesses inspected by officers from Environmental Health to be given a score on how well they have performed in terms of hygiene, structural condition and overall attitude to complying with the law.
Following a food hygiene inspection a business is given a certificate which includes a score. The score ranges from 0 stars (poor) to 5 stars (excellent). It is voluntary for the businesses to display the certificate but if it is displayed then it must be seen from outside the premises, i.e. on the front door or window.
The aim of the scheme is to improve food hygiene standards in the Borough and also to give the public a more informed choice about where to eat based on food safety.
