Ntsama food hygiene rating

Manufacturers/packers · South Holland

Ntsama holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the food producer met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 4 November 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.

What the inspector found

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 Ntsama 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.

When was Ntsama last inspected?

Ntsama was last inspected on 4 November 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by South Holland Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Ntsama?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

86% of the 711 rated food businesses in South Holland hold the top rating of 5, and Ntsama is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

South Holland Council inspects Ntsama 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.
