Aldi food hygiene rating

Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Great Yarmouth

Aldi holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the supermarket are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.

The rating: 4 - Good

The rating dates from 14 April 2025, 14 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 Aldi 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.

Questions about Aldi

What is Aldi's food hygiene rating?

Aldi has a food hygiene rating of 4 out of 5 (good), given by Great Yarmouth Council on 14 April 2025.

Is Aldi safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 4 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this supermarket to be good, the top end of the scale.

When was Aldi last inspected?

Aldi was last inspected on 14 April 2025, 14 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Great Yarmouth Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Aldi?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "generally satisfactory", 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 Aldi compare to other places in Great Yarmouth?

71% of the 1,027 rated food businesses in Great Yarmouth hold the top rating of 5, while Aldi holds a 4. 161 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Great Yarmouth Council inspects Aldi 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.
