Aldi food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Cheshire East
Aldi holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the supermarket met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 12 December 2024, 19 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.

That puts Aldi among the 2,438 places in Cheshire East holding top marks, 89% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety Very good
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Aldi none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

When was Aldi last inspected?
Aldi was last inspected on 12 December 2024, 19 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Cheshire East Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Aldi?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

89% of the 2,733 rated food businesses in Cheshire East hold the top rating of 5, and Aldi is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Cheshire East Council inspects Aldi 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.
