What the inspector found

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 Starbucks 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.

What is Starbucks's food hygiene rating?

Starbucks has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Trafford Council on 22 May 2026.

Is Starbucks safe to eat at?

When was Starbucks last inspected?

Starbucks was last inspected on 22 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Trafford Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Starbucks?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

81% of the 1,982 rated food businesses in Trafford hold the top rating of 5, and Starbucks is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Trafford Council inspects Starbucks 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.
