Iceland food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Rother
Iceland holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the supermarket met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 24 February 2025, 16 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

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

What is Iceland's food hygiene rating?
Iceland has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Rother Council on 24 February 2025.
Is Iceland safe to eat at?

When was Iceland last inspected?
Iceland was last inspected on 24 February 2025, 16 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Rother Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Iceland?
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 "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Iceland compare to other places in Rother?
87% of the 1,013 rated food businesses in Rother hold the top rating of 5, and Iceland is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Rother Council inspects Iceland 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.
