Starbucks food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · North Yorkshire

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 1 November 2024, 20 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.

That puts Starbucks among the 5,364 places in North Yorkshire holding top marks, 86% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

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 Starbucks 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 Starbucks's food hygiene rating?

When was Starbucks last inspected?

Starbucks was last inspected on 1 November 2024, 20 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by North Yorkshire Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Starbucks?

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

86% of the 6,226 rated food businesses in North Yorkshire hold the top rating of 5, and Starbucks is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

North Yorkshire Council inspects Starbucks 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.
