Boots food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Fife
Boots passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the shop met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 6 October 2009, more than 16 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.

Questions about Boots
What is Boots's food hygiene rating?
Boots does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was Boots last inspected?
Boots was last inspected on 6 October 2009, more than 16 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Fife Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
Fife Council inspects Boots 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.
Tell me when this changes
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Boots and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
