Órgano de inspección

National Food Safety Agency (Agenția Națională pentru Siguranța Alimentelor, ANSA)

ANSA is the national food safety authority, with territorial offices (Law 306/2018, art. 24). The Ministry of Health supervises hygiene instruction and staff medical exams (art. 25).

Visits are risk-based, set in ANSA’s control plan 2023–2026: highest risk 4 times a year, high 3, medium 2, low 1, and minimum risk only unannounced. After a visit the inspector writes a control record (proces-verbal) and a prescription (prescripție) with deadlines. The activity can be suspended if health is in danger. Fines (Contravention Code 218/2008, 1 conventional unit = 50 lei): art. 80, company 42–60 units, or 90–120 in the food sector, or 150–240 for not following a prescription (up to 12 000 lei). Art. 81, hiring staff without a medical exam or hygiene instruction, company 120–150 units (6 000–7 500 lei). Art. 84, dangerous food, company 210–300 units (10 500–15 000 lei) plus a ban of 3 months to 1 year.
