Questions about WHSmith
What is WHSmith's food hygiene rating?
WHSmith does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Exempt".
Who decides the rating?
Westmorland and Furness Council inspects WHSmith 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 WHSmith and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
