Iceland food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Caerphilly
Iceland holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the supermarket met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 15 March 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
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety Very good
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 Iceland none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

When was Iceland last inspected?
Iceland was last inspected on 15 March 2024, more than 2 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Caerphilly Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Iceland?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

63% of the 1,392 rated food businesses in Caerphilly hold the top rating of 5, and Iceland is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Caerphilly Council inspects Iceland 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.
