Boots food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · North Ayrshire
Boots has no published result under Scotland's food hygiene scheme yet.
The rating: Exempt
The rating dates from 5 February 2019, more than 7 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.

Questions about Boots
What is Boots's food hygiene rating?
Boots does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Exempt".
When was Boots last inspected?
Boots was last inspected on 5 February 2019, more than 7 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by North Ayrshire Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
North Ayrshire Council inspects Boots and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
