Lime food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Edinburgh (City of)
Lime 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 8 July 2019, more than 7 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.

When was Lime last inspected?

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