LIDL food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Edinburgh (City of)
LIDL passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the shop met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
This is a fresh result: LIDL was inspected on 18 June 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.
Address: 56-58 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DT

Questions about LIDL
What is LIDL's food hygiene rating?
LIDL does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was LIDL last inspected?
LIDL was last inspected on 18 June 2026, within the last month. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Edinburgh (City of) Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
Edinburgh (City of) Council inspects LIDL 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 LIDL and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
