Boundary Norwich Store Ltd food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Norwich City
Boundary Norwich Store Ltd holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The supermarket met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating dates from 20 September 2024, 21 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 Generally satisfactory
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Generally satisfactory
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
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 Boundary Norwich Store Ltd 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.
