A MacKay & Son food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Highland
A MacKay & Son 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
The rating dates from 2 June 2011, more than 15 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.
