Siena Co-operative Ltd T/A The Southern Co-operative food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Arun
Siena Co-operative Ltd T/A The Southern Co-operative holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the supermarket are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.
The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 15 July 2024, more than 2 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.

What the inspector found
