Ibsela Ltd food hygiene rating
Importers/Exporters · Hertsmere
Ibsela Ltd holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the importer met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 4 July 2025, 12 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 Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very 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 Ibsela 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.
