Shorty's Ice Cream Parlour Ltd food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Aberdeenshire
Shorty's Ice Cream Parlour Ltd passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the shop met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 16 February 2026, 4 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.
