Morrisons Thornbury zero rating prompts urgent safety upgrade
The Thornbury Morrisons Daily store on Oakleaze Road was given a zero score by the Food Standards Agency after an inspection dated October 25 2024. The report shows only one area, cleanliness and conditions of facilities and building, rated as good; hygienic food handling and the management of food safety were flagged for urgent improvement. Inspectors found that food safety checks were lacking, staff knowledge on safety procedures was limited, and there was little confidence that high standards would be maintained.
Nearby Morrisons Daily stores in the Bristol region fared better, with several locations earning top marks: Beach Road 5, Broad Street Chipping Sodbury 5, Clifton Parade 5, Abbotswood 5, Westcourt Drive 5, Cranleigh Court 4, Filton Avenue 4, and WM Morrisons Station Road 5. The Thornbury site was last inspected on October 25 2024, and officials say immediate action is being taken to address the issues. The story sits alongside a Telegraph report noting dozens of Morrisons stores have failed food hygiene inspections recently. A Morrisons spokesman said the company takes food safety seriously and has begun corrective actions, including awaiting re-rating inspections at several stores.
Key Takeaways
"Zero rating is a red flag for shoppers"
editorial emphasis on consumer trust
"Safety must come first not excuses"
call for accountability in food safety
"Actions now will define the store's recovery"
assessing corrective steps
A zero rating at a well known chain store is a blunt signal that enforcement of basic food safety standards remains uneven across the sector. It highlights how a single site can become a reputational liability for a national brand even as many outlets perform well. The incident raises questions about staff training, ongoing oversight, and how quickly a large retailer can translate policy into practice at every location.
Looking ahead, the speed and transparency of the re-rating process will matter as much as the rating itself. If inspections show rapid improvement, the focus shifts to sustaining it. If not, consumer trust may erode and regulators may demand tougher measures. Either way, the episode underlines that food safety is a continuous obligation, not a one off check.
Highlights
- Zero rating is a red flag for shoppers
- Safety must come first not excuses
- Actions now will define the store's recovery
- Re-rating inspections will test real change

The zero hygiene rating and related findings raise questions about staff training, oversight, and ongoing consumer risk. The situation could attract public reaction and regulatory scrutiny if not addressed quickly.
