San Marino: élelmiszer-ellenőrzés

San Marino is not in the EU, but it made the EU hygiene rules into its own decrees (DD 70/2012, DD 73/2012, Decree 32/2005); the law sets no kitchen temperatures, and the ISS inspects.

Ellenőrző szerv

Social Security Institute (ISS), Prevention Department, Veterinary Health and Food Hygiene unit

The ISS (Istituto per la Sicurezza Sociale) Prevention Department, veterinary health and food hygiene unit, is the one national authority (DD 70/2012 art. 2; DD 73/2012 art. 4). Visits are risk-based and unannounced, under a multi-year control plan (DD 73/2012 art. 3).

After a visit you get a report and, for non-compliance, a corrective order with a deadline. The ISS can restrict or ban sale, suspend operations or close the business in whole or in part, and suspend or withdraw recognition (DD 73/2012 art. 28). Fines include EUR 500–3,000 for a hygiene breach and EUR 1,500–6,000 for working without the sanitary authorisation, plus immediate suspension (DD 70/2012 art. 13).

Higiéniai besorolás

San Marino has no public hygiene rating, sticker or score, and nothing has to be displayed. The aim is a visit with no non-compliance.
