Sainsbury's food hygiene rating

Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Conwy

Sainsbury's holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the supermarket met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 24 July 2025, 11 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.

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 Sainsbury's 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.

What is Sainsbury's's food hygiene rating?

Sainsbury's has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Conwy Council on 24 July 2025.

Is Sainsbury's safe to eat at?

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

When was Sainsbury's last inspected?

Sainsbury's was last inspected on 24 July 2025, 11 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Conwy Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Sainsbury's?

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

How does Sainsbury's compare to other places in Conwy?

83% of the 1,436 rated food businesses in Conwy hold the top rating of 5, and Sainsbury's is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Conwy Council inspects Sainsbury's 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.
