Kosovo: food inspections

In Kosovo the app follows the Law on Food (Ligji Nr. 08/L-120, 2022), partly aligned with the EU's food law. The Food and Veterinary Agency (AUV) inspects, and every food business is registered before it opens.

Inspection body

Food and Veterinary Agency (Agjencia e Ushqimit dhe Veterinarisë, AUV)

The Food and Veterinary Agency (Agjencia e Ushqimit dhe Veterinarisë, AUV) inspects food businesses.

After a visit the inspector writes a report and tells you what to put right and by when. The inspector can fine the business, take unsafe food off the market and, if health is at risk, stop the activity.

Hygiene rating

Kosovo has no public hygiene rating, sticker or score, and nothing has to be displayed. Chef Hygiene shows no rating card for Kosovo.
