Aldi food hygiene rating

Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Brighton and Hove

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 24 November 2025, 7 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.

Address: 1-4 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JA

How it compares in Brighton and Hove

That puts Aldi among the 2,255 places in Brighton and Hove holding top marks, 82% 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 Aldi 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.

Questions about Aldi

What is Aldi's food hygiene rating?

Aldi has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Brighton and Hove Council on 24 November 2025.

Is Aldi safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this supermarket to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Aldi last inspected?

Aldi was last inspected on 24 November 2025, 7 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Brighton and Hove Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Aldi?

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

How does Aldi compare to other places in Brighton and Hove?

82% of the 2,751 rated food businesses in Brighton and Hove hold the top rating of 5, and Aldi is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Brighton and Hove Council inspects Aldi 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 Aldi and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
