McDonald's food hygiene ratings

Food Standards Agency (FSA) hygiene ratings for 23 McDonald's branches on record at GeraEats, across 23 UK local authorities. Of the 21 rated branches, 19 (90.5%) are rated 5 (Very Good) and 2 hold a 2-star rating or below. Figures cover the branches listed here — the FSA sample GeraEats holds — not every UK outlet.

Food hygiene ratings are awarded per premises, not per company — so there is no single “McDonald's rating”. The table below shows each branch’s most recent Food Standards Agency rating. Source data as of June 2026.
