IKEA food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Milton Keynes
IKEA holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the restaurant met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 9 September 2024, 22 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety Very 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 IKEA 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.

When was IKEA last inspected?
IKEA was last inspected on 9 September 2024, 22 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Milton Keynes Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at IKEA?
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 "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

77% of the 2,271 rated food businesses in Milton Keynes hold the top rating of 5, and IKEA is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Milton Keynes Council inspects IKEA 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.
