Food Legislation

If you operate a food shop, wholesale food enterprise, or restaurant, it is important that you are familiar with and observe the Danish food legislation. The regulations aim to ensure that food products do not cause illness among consumers, and to protect customers from deceptive marketing.

The food legislation module contains information on:

• How food supervision and control works in practice, with an emphasis on your enterprise’s own internal inspections.
• How you as the proprietor generally monitor compliance with the requirements in the food legislation in your enterprise.
• Examples of areas covered by food legislation, such as labelling and import regulations. You will see examples of what the food authorities check when they carry out inspections.
