Tesco food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Edinburgh (City of)
Tesco passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the supermarket met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
This is a fresh result: Tesco was inspected on 28 May 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.

Questions about Tesco
What is Tesco's food hygiene rating?
Tesco does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was Tesco last inspected?
Tesco was last inspected on 28 May 2026, a month 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?
Edinburgh (City of) Council inspects Tesco 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 Tesco and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
