China Express food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Edinburgh (City of)
China Express passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the takeaway met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 13 January 2025, 18 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

Questions about China Express

When was China Express last inspected?
China Express was last inspected on 13 January 2025, 18 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Edinburgh (City of) Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?

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 China Express and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
