Manchester United have reportedly received a rating of one out of five food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency after several guests had complained about feeling unwell. It is one of the lowest rating that can be awarded and requires “major improvement” after there were claims of raw chicken being served at an Old Trafford event.
The Daily Mail claim that United’s rating was slashed from five to one after an investigation into an incident regarding undercooked food on November 21. The club are set to appeal the decision.
A spokesperson for Trafford Council said: “We can confirm that the hygiene rating for Old Trafford (Manchester United) has been downgraded from five to one. This follows a food hygiene investigation following an incident where undercooked food was served at an event on November 21.”
The club were said to be conducting an internal investigation into the incident, once several people had insisted that they became unwell after eating at the Old Trafford event.
