Norway: records to keep

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawYou need written routines (internkontroll) for what to do when something goes wrong, how to stop it happening again, a regular review, and using only current routines (IK-mat regulation, §§ 4–5).
• LawA binder, a notebook, a digital file or an app is accepted. HACCP principles apply (EU Regulation 852/2004, article 5).
• Chef Hygiene defaultNo fixed number of years is set for records. The business decides and writes down how long each record is kept. Chef Hygiene suggests 12 months.
