What does ‘Improvement Required’ mean?

Food hygiene reviews are carried out by Glasgow City Council, which can give out three ratings - pass, improvement required, or exempt.

Improvement required means that the establishment did not meet the legal standards required and that, as the name suggests, improvements are needed.
