Iceland food hygiene rating

Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Wiltshire

Iceland holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the supermarket are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.

The rating: 4 - Good

The rating dates from 22 April 2022, more than 4 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.

Address: 33-35 Castle Street, Salisbury, SP1 1TT

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 Iceland 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 Iceland

What is Iceland's food hygiene rating?

Iceland has a food hygiene rating of 4 out of 5 (good), given by Wiltshire Council on 22 April 2022.

Is Iceland safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 4 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this supermarket to be good, the top end of the scale.

When was Iceland last inspected?

Iceland was last inspected on 22 April 2022, more than 4 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Wiltshire Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Iceland?

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

How does Iceland compare to other places in Wiltshire?

81% of the 2,950 rated food businesses in Wiltshire hold the top rating of 5, while Iceland holds a 4. 335 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Wiltshire Council inspects Iceland 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.
