WH Smith food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Highland
WH Smith has no published result under Scotland's food hygiene scheme yet.
The rating: Exempt
The rating dates from 26 October 2011, more than 14 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.
