Liechtenstein: élelmiszer-ellenőrzés

In Liechtenstein the app follows Swiss federal food law, which applies through the 1923 Customs Treaty, so the hygiene rules match Switzerland; the ALKVW inspects.

Ellenőrző szerv

Office of Food Control and Veterinary Affairs (Amt für Lebensmittelkontrolle und Veterinärwesen, ALKVW)

The Office of Food Control and Veterinary Affairs (ALKVW) inspects (LMKV art. 3). Inspections are risk-based, regular and unannounced (LMKV arts. 8 and 9).

After a visit you get a written result and, if needed, a Beanstandung (complaint), orders, or a ban on rooms, equipment or a process. If health is in immediate serious danger, the business can be closed at once (Swiss LMG arts. 34–36). You can object within 10 days (Einsprache) and appeal within 30 days (Beschwerde). Food-rule fines go up to CHF 40,000 for intent and CHF 20,000 for negligence (Swiss LMG art. 64). Before opening you need a trade licence (Gewerbebewilligung) from the AVW, and a food-business notification to the ALKVW.

Higiéniai besorolás

Liechtenstein has no public hygiene rating, sticker or score that the research found, and nothing has to be displayed. The aim is a visit with no faults.
