Aldi food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Wakefield
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 8 April 2025, 15 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 Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very 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.

Is Aldi safe to eat at?

When was Aldi last inspected?
Aldi was last inspected on 8 April 2025, 15 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Wakefield Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Aldi?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Aldi compare to other places in Wakefield?
78% of the 2,691 rated food businesses in Wakefield hold the top rating of 5, and Aldi is one of them.
Who decides the rating?
Wakefield 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.
