Sainsburys food hygiene rating

Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Dumfries and Galloway

Sainsburys 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

The rating dates from 4 February 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.

Questions about Sainsburys

What is Sainsburys's food hygiene rating?

When was Sainsburys last inspected?

Sainsburys was last inspected on 4 February 2019, more than 7 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Dumfries and Galloway Council rather than by the business.

Who decides the rating?

Dumfries and Galloway Council inspects Sainsburys 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 Sainsburys and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
