China China food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Mid Devon
China China holds a 1: major improvement is necessary. The inspector found significant problems at the takeaway and the business is legally required to address them.
The rating: 1 - Major improvement necessary
The rating dates from 8 January 2026, 6 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.

Questions about China China
What is China China's food hygiene rating?
China China has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Mid Devon Council on 8 January 2026.
Is China China safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The takeaway is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was China China last inspected?
China China was last inspected on 8 January 2026, 6 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Mid Devon Council rather than by the business.
How does China China compare to other places in Mid Devon?
86% of the 692 rated food businesses in Mid Devon hold the top rating of 5, while China China holds a 1. 10 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Mid Devon Council inspects China China 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.

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 China China and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 1 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Mid Devon, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
