Newsboyz food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Midlothian
Newsboyz was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the shop fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
The rating dates from 16 July 2024, 23 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.
