Current ratings
Percentages cover FHRS-rated businesses; Scotland's FHIS scheme (Pass / Improvement Required) is shown in the bars but excluded from the shares.
Time to first published rating
76 days median · 127 days average
across 2,157 newly listed supermarkets since 2022
Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.
