Bulgária: élelmiszer-ellenőrzés

In Bulgaria the app follows the EU hygiene rules, the Food Act and its ordinances; the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BFSA) inspects, and only −18°C for frozen food is a fixed number in law.

Ellenőrző szerv

Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (Българска агенция по безопасност на храните, BFSA / БАБХ)

BFSA (БАБХ) does the official food control through its 28 regional food-safety directorates (ОДБХ), one per province. Regional health inspectorates check staff health books. The consumer protection commission (КЗП) checks restaurant star categories.

After a check the inspector writes a prescription (предписание) with a deadline, or a fine report. The control body can suspend a site, and can deregister it for gross or repeated breaches. Under the Food Act (art. 128 to 137) a business can be fined BGN 4,000 to 6,000 (about EUR 2,045 to 3,068) for breaches such as no HACCP-based procedures or allergen and traceability failures.

Higiéniai besorolás

There is no national hygiene rating, sticker or duty to display a result. The tourism star categories for restaurants are not a hygiene rating.
