Cardiff Halal food hygiene rating
Distributors/Transporters · Caerphilly
Cardiff Halal holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the distributor met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 28 November 2025, 7 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety 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 Cardiff Halal 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.
