Johnsons Fresh Fruit and Veg food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · York

The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 4 December 2020, more than 5 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.
