Questions about Matalan
What is Matalan's food hygiene rating?
Matalan does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Exempt".
Who decides the rating?

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