Belgía: reglur um hollustuhætti matvæla
Reglurnar á þessari síðu eru á ensku í bili. Þær verða þýddar á þitt tungumál.
- Skoðunaraðili
- Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Federaal Agentschap voor de Veiligheid van de Voedselketen, FAVV; Agence fédérale pour la Sécurité de la Chaîne alimentaire, AFSCA)
- Opinber einkunn
- Já
- Tungumál í appinu
- Nederlands, Français, English
Skoðun þín
One federal agency, the FAVV (AFSCA in French), inspects food businesses in the whole country through its provincial control units. It works in Dutch, French, German and English.
Inspections follow risk, and the FAVV sets a frequency for each activity. An unfavourable result can bring a warning or an official report (proces-verbaal), then a re-inspection. If public health is at serious risk, the FAVV can order temporary closure. Non-compliant food is seized.
Hreinlætismat
Yes. The Food Hygiene Rating (fhr.favv-afsca.be, website and app, since 4 November 2025) has six classes from Excellent to To be improved, plus No recent inspection. It uses a Smiley and blue forks. You do not have to display your result, but you must display the FAVV authorisation poster, visible from outside.
„Lög“ eru bindandi regla. „Opinberar leiðbeiningar“ eru ekki lög, en eftirlitsmenn búast við þeim. „Chef Hygiene sjálfgefið gildi“ er gildi sem appið ber saman við þar sem engin regla gefur upp tölu.
Hitastig
- LögfræðiChilled red meat, meat products, potato, vegetable, rice and pasta dishes, dairy and cream desserts: 7°C or colder (royal decree of 13 July 2014, Annex IV).
- LögfræðiChilled raw poultry, offal, minced meat, meat preparations and processed fish: 4°C or colder. A mixed dish follows its strictest ingredient. Chef Hygiene aims for 4°C.
- LögfræðiFresh fish: near melting ice, at most 4°C. A short rise of up to 3°C while handling is allowed for other food, never for fresh fish.
- LögfræðiFrozen food: −18°C or colder, with a short rise to −15°C allowed (art. 22/1).
- LögfræðiHot food kept hot: 60°C or hotter (art. 23 §1). Guide G-044: food at 55 to 60°C must be reheated at once, and food below 55°C is thrown away.
- LögfræðiCooling: from 60°C to 10°C within 2 hours at most (art. 23 §2).
- LögfræðiReheating: as quickly as possible to 60°C or hotter (art. 23 §1). Guide G-023: from 10°C to 60°C in under 1 hour, and eat it the same day.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarBelgian law sets no core cooking temperature. Guide G-023 says “well heated” means at least 2 minutes at 70°C in the centre.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarCooled dishes are kept 3 to 4 days at most, labelled with the dish, the cooling date and the use-by date (G-023).
Starfsfólk, þjálfun og heilsa
- LögfræðiBelgian law sets no food hygiene certificate, number of hours or renewal. Staff must be supervised and trained to suit their work (EU Regulation 852/2004, Annex II, Chapter XII).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarThe FAVV checklist for hospitality asks for at least a short training when someone is hired and a regular reminder, and you must be able to prove it. Keep a training log.
- LögfræðiThe medical certificate for food handlers was abolished on 11 August 2018.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarStaff who are ill or carry germs that can contaminate food, such as gastro-enteritis or diarrhoea, must tell the person in charge. Measures follow a medical examination (G-044). Cuts are dressed at once.
Ofnæmisvaldar
- LögfræðiThe 14 EU allergens must be declared: gluten cereals, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soya, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs (Regulation 1169/2011).
- LögfræðiFor food that is not prepacked, written information is the rule (royal decree of 17 July 2014, art. 3). Show it on paper or a screen where the food is sold, easy to read before buying.
- LögfræðiSpoken information is allowed only if it is given at once and free of charge. A written procedure must exist at the point of sale, and staff must be trained on it.
- LögfræðiYou must always show a clear written notice that says where to find or ask for allergen information and that recipes can change.
Brunavarnaeftirlit
- LögfræðiFire extinguishers and other fire equipment: checked at least once a year (Codex over het welzijn op het werk, art. III.3-22 §1). Keep the dates and findings.
- LögfræðiEvacuation drill for staff: at least once a year (Codex, art. III.3-26 §2).
- LögfræðiLow-voltage electrical installations are inspected every 5 years by an accredited inspection body (AREI/RGIE).
- LögfræðiGas, heating and electrical installations must be checked periodically (Codex, art. III.3-22 §2). There is no national interval for gas. The town or fire zone sets it.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarHood and ducts have no national cleaning interval. In Brussels, operators must have them cleaned regularly by a specialist firm and be able to prove it.
Skrár
- LögfræðiEvery food business except primary production needs a self-check system (autocontrole) based on HACCP principles and good hygiene practice (Royal Decree of 14 November 2003).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarSmall businesses can use the relaxations in the FAVV guide G-044 (version 2, 25 October 2024) or the hospitality guide G-023.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarCheck fridges and freezers every day and write the temperatures down. Every cold unit needs a thermometer accurate to 1°C (art. 21).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarKeep self-check records 6 months after the product’s shelf life with the relaxations, or 2 years otherwise. Keep traceability records 2 years (G-044).
