Caffe Valeria in Main Street, Wheldrake, scored just one-star, meaning major improvement necessary, following the inspection on August 28.
The Food Standards Agency website says for hygienic food handing, the rating was ‘improvement necessary’, which was also given for the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and the building. But for management of food safety, it was a case of ‘major improvement necessary.’
The Press asked City of York Council for a copy of the inspector’s report, but the council declined to supply the document, in case it took action against the café.
A statement from the ‘team’ at Caffe Valeria said: “At Caffe Valeria, we take pride in maintaining high standards in all aspects of our business, and health & safety is no exception.
“We were naturally disappointed with our recent rating, but we value the constructive feedback provided by the inspector. Since the assessment, we have taken several steps to address the points raised to ensure that we are operating at the level our customers expect and deserve.
