Alibaba food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Bristol
Alibaba holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the takeaway met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 9 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.

How it compares in Bristol
That puts Alibaba among the 2,827 places in Bristol holding top marks, 76% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety 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 Alibaba 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 Alibaba's food hygiene rating?
Alibaba has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Bristol Council on 9 July 2024.
Is Alibaba safe to eat at?

When was Alibaba last inspected?
Alibaba was last inspected on 9 July 2024, more than 2 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Bristol Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Alibaba?
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 "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Alibaba compare to other places in Bristol?
76% of the 3,707 rated food businesses in Bristol hold the top rating of 5, and Alibaba is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Bristol Council inspects Alibaba 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.
