Spar passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the shop met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
This is a fresh result: Spar was inspected on 18 June 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.

Questions about Spar
What is Spar's food hygiene rating?
Spar does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was Spar last inspected?
Spar was last inspected on 18 June 2026, within the last month. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by South Ayrshire Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
South Ayrshire Council inspects Spar 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 Spar and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
