Asda food hygiene ratings
There are 1,290 Asda sites in the United Kingdom with a published food hygiene rating. Each is inspected by its own local council, the chain does not rate itself, and a rating earned in one town says nothing about the branch in the next. 112 sites are in Scotland, which uses a pass-or-improve scheme rather than a score out of five, and so are not counted in the figures below.
How Asda scores
89% of rated Asda branches hold the top score of 5, and 98% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.88 out of 5, comfortably ahead of the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that hold a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 1,018 | 89% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 106 | 9% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 12 | 1% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 2 | <1% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 152 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated Asda branches
2 branches hold a rating of 2 or below. That is 0% of Asda's rated sites. A low rating is not a closure order, the business is required to fix what the inspector found.

Questions about Asda
What is Asda's food hygiene rating?
Asda does not have a single rating. Every one of its 1,290 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 89% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.88 out of 5.
Is Asda clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 89% of Asda branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, and 2 branches score 2 or below.
Which Asda has the worst hygiene rating?
The lowest-rated branches are listed on this page, worst first. 2 hold a rating of 2 or below out of 1,138 rated sites.
Who inspects Asda?
Not Asda. Environmental health officers at each site's local council carry out the inspection, unannounced, and set the rating. The Food Standards Agency publishes the result. A chain cannot rate itself, and cannot change a rating.
