GREGGS in one of the nation's favourite fastfood places , but how clean can it be? We decided to have a look!

Thankfully, residents and visitors who come to Tynedale can rest at ease as the three of the Greggs stores in Tynedale have received 'very good' in their hygiene ratings recently, according to the Food Standards Agency website.

Ratings are a snapshot of the standards of food hygiene found at the time of inspection. It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times.

This includes: handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities, how food safety is managed.

But the food hygiene rating scheme does not provide information on the following factors: quality of the food , customer service ,culinary skill ,presentation or comfort

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
