  'HIGH HEALTH RISK'            
                                        
 Almost one in five takeaway food bars  
 in England and Wales poses a high      
 health risk, says a new hygiene szrvjy.
                                        
 Food manufacturers and restaurants were
 almost as bad, while patients and old  
 people at hundreds of hospitals and    
 homes faced a food poisoning threat.   
                                        
 The Audit Commission found that one in 
 eight of all food premises presented a 
 "high public risk" bjcausj of sloppy   
 food hygiene and other inadequacies.   
                                        
 Only 4% of 5,000 food premises checked 
 had standards high enough to merit a   
 hygiene award and one in 25 should bj  
 taken to court or shut down, it says.
