LIDL food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Edinburgh (City of)
LIDL passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the supermarket met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 21 October 2025, 8 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.

When was LIDL last inspected?
LIDL was last inspected on 21 October 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Edinburgh (City of) Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
Edinburgh (City of) Council inspects LIDL 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.
Tell me when this changes
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch LIDL and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
