NHS Shetland food hygiene rating
Caring Premises · Shetland Islands
NHS Shetland passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the care premises met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 15 April 2026, 2 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.

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