Lowest-rated places in Shropshire
The lowest-rated food businesses in Shropshire are listed below. 3 hold a 0, urgent improvement necessary, the lowest score the scheme gives, and 8 hold a 1. A low rating is not a closure order: these places are still trading, and a business can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems the inspector found.
