Standards are the FSA's own descriptors for the inspection sub-scores, which are demerit points: 0 is fully compliant and higher is worse. FHRS inspections only; Scotland's FHIS scheme does not publish sub-scores. A rating date is when the rating was published on the register, not when the inspection happened.

What has happened at these branches

Every change the register has published for these premises since 2022, newest first. The FSA publishes the current rating; it does not publish what came before it.

The oldest rating here

Sainsbury's Local 116 - 120 Whitchurch Road, Gabalfa (CF14 3LZ) was last rated on 2012-12-08, 13.8 years ago. A rating that old describes the kitchen as it was inspected then, which may be nothing like the one trading today. The FSA publishes the rating; it does not tell you how old it is.
