Nisa food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Carmarthenshire

Nisa holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the shop met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 9 May 2023, more than 3 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

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 Nisa 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.

Nisa has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Carmarthenshire Council on 9 May 2023.

Is Nisa safe to eat at?

When was Nisa last inspected?

Nisa was last inspected on 9 May 2023, more than 3 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Carmarthenshire Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Nisa?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very 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.

83% of the 1,882 rated food businesses in Carmarthenshire hold the top rating of 5, and Nisa is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Carmarthenshire Council inspects Nisa 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.
