myCostcutter food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Salford
myCostcutter holds a 1: major improvement is necessary. The inspector found significant problems at the shop and the business is legally required to address them.
The rating: 1 - Major improvement necessary
The rating dates from 15 May 2025, 14 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.

How it compares in Salford
A 1 is rare: only 55 of 1,880 rated places in Salford score this low, about one in 34. By contrast 65% of the borough holds a 5, so this is well below what the council's inspectors normally find.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Generally satisfactory
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Generally satisfactory
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At myCostcutter the inspector recorded concerns over confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about myCostcutter
What is myCostcutter's food hygiene rating?
myCostcutter has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Salford Council on 15 May 2025.
Is myCostcutter safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The shop is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was myCostcutter last inspected?
myCostcutter was last inspected on 15 May 2025, 14 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Salford Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at myCostcutter?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "generally satisfactory", the cleanliness and condition of the building "generally satisfactory", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does myCostcutter compare to other places in Salford?
65% of the 1,880 rated food businesses in Salford hold the top rating of 5, while myCostcutter holds a 1. 55 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Salford Council inspects myCostcutter 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.
Tell me when this changes
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch myCostcutter and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 1 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Salford, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
