Sainsbury's food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · East Renfrewshire
Sainsbury's 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 2 August 2023, more than 2 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 Sainsbury's
What is Sainsbury's's food hygiene rating?
Sainsbury's does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was Sainsbury's last inspected?
Sainsbury's was last inspected on 2 August 2023, more than 2 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by East Renfrewshire Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
East Renfrewshire Council inspects Sainsbury's 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 Sainsbury's and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
