Family Choice food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Swansea

Family Choice holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The shop met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

The rating dates from 6 July 2026, 2 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.

This sits in the middle for Swansea, where 2% of rated places score below 3 and 88% score 4 or 5. See all Swansea ratings →

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 Family Choice 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 Family Choice last inspected?

Family Choice was last inspected on 6 July 2026, 2 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Swansea Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Family Choice?

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