Kroatien: Lebensmittelkontrollen

In Croatia the app follows the EU hygiene rules, the HACCP rulebook NN 124/2025 and the national catering guide of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts (HOK); the State Inspectorate inspects.

Inspektionsstelle

State Inspectorate, sanitary inspection (Državni inspektorat, sanitarna inspekcija)

The State Inspectorate (Državni inspektorat, DIRH) inspects through its sanitary inspection (sanitarna inspekcija). It checks food hygiene, HACCP and staff health. It works from five regional offices (Zagreb, Osijek, Rijeka, Split, Varaždin). Tourism, market and labour inspectors also visit.

The inspector can ban rooms, equipment, products or a person’s work, and can seal the premises: 1 to 15 days the first time, 30 days if the same fault returns within 3 years. Fines for a company start at EUR 6,630 to 13,270 for having no HACCP system (Act NN 83/22). Appeals do not stop an order.

Hygienebewertung

There is no national rating, sticker or smiley, and no duty to display an inspection result. The State Inspectorate publishes only totals.
