Skoðun þín
The 26 cantons inspect. Each has a cantonal chemist (Kantonschemiker/in) with food inspectors. The federal office BLV supervises the cantons and approves sector guides, but it does not inspect restaurants. The same federal rules apply in every canton.
Controls are risk-based and unannounced. A restaurant with its own kitchen gets a basic control at least every 2 years. After a visit the inspector gives a written result and can order repairs, ban rooms, equipment or a process, or close the business at once if health is in serious danger. Fees apply only after a formal finding (Beanstandung), a repeat fault or a follow-up visit, at most CHF 4,000 per inspection. Fines can reach CHF 40,000. You can object within 10 days (Einsprache) and appeal within 30 days (Beschwerde).
Hreinlætismat
There is no national rating. Control reports and risk classes are not public (LMG Art. 24). Only canton Zug has an official quality certificate («sehr gut», «gut», «genügend», «ungenügend»), and showing it is voluntary.
„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
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarSwiss law sets no general fridge number: keep the cold chain unbroken (HyV Art. 24). The GVG guide says perishable food at 5°C at most, egg products at 4°C, and the maker’s own maximum comes first.
- LögfræðiFresh and thawed raw fish, and cooked chilled crustaceans and molluscs, must be at melting ice, 2°C at most (HyV Art. 44). Mince must be chilled to 2°C or frozen (HyV Art. 29 and 31).
- LögfræðiFrozen food must be at −18°C or colder. The surface must never be above −15°C (HyV Art. 25).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: cook and reheat to a core temperature of 70°C or more, held for at least 2 minutes. Pink meat is a known exception.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: keep hot food at a core temperature of 65°C or more, for 3 hours at most. Spot-check it and write it down. Law only says to use temperatures that prevent growth (HyV Art. 27).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: cool actively from 65°C to below 5°C within 90 minutes. The law says only “as fast as possible” (HyV Art. 27).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: a break in the cold chain should last 30 minutes at most. Chilled food that was offered unchilled is thrown away.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: thaw in the fridge, in a sealed bag under cold running water, or in a thawing device. Label the thaw date, use within 48 hours (delicate food 24 hours) and never refreeze.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: frying oil at 175°C at most, with polar compounds at 27 % at most.
Starfsfólk, þjálfun og heilsa
- LögfræðiFood handlers must be supervised and instructed or trained for their job. Whoever runs the HACCP system must be trained in HACCP (HyV Art. 22). Federal law sets no certificate, hours or renewal.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: write down the training. In a small business, oral instruction plus a signed attendance list is enough.
- LögfræðiSeveral cantons ask the restaurant manager for a hospitality certificate (Wirtepatent). In 2018 this applied in BE, FR, GE, TI, VD, VS, AG, BL, BS, JU, SO, TG, AI, LU, NW, OW and SH. Check the rule of your canton.
- LögfræðiNobody with an acute foodborne illness may work with food. Carriers and people with infected wounds or skin lesions may work only with hygiene measures that rule out contamination. Staff must tell the responsible person at once (HyV Art. 21). Law and the GVG set no fixed time off and no medical certificate.
- LögfræðiIf several people are ill at once, report it to the canton (HyV Art. 21).
- Chef Hygiene sjálfgefiðChef Hygiene advises 48 hours away from food work after sickness symptoms stop.
Ofnæmisvaldar
- LögfræðiThe 14 allergens are the same as in the EU (LIV Annex 6). Loose food needs the same information as prepacked food (LGV Art. 39).
- LögfræðiYou may give allergen information orally only if a clearly visible written notice says so, and staff have the details in writing or an expert can answer at once (LIV Art. 5). A menu or poster also works.
- LögfræðiThe origin country of meat and fish must always be given in writing. A “may contain traces” notice is not needed for loose food (LGV Art. 39, LIV Art. 5).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: written allergen marking is voluntary. If you use codes, use the GVG numbering from 1 (gluten) to 14 (molluscs).
Brunavarnaeftirlit
- LögfræðiElectrical installations in restaurants and small food places (under 1,200 m², up to 300 people) must be checked every 5 years by an independent control body. The grid operator writes to you 6 months before (NIV Annex 2.3.8–2.3.9).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarVKF fire protection rules, enforced by the cantons: check extinguishers yourself and service them as the maker says. Record delivery, refill and service dates. No national interval is set. Chef Hygiene suggests a service every 24 months.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarVKF rules for kitchens: keep extraction systems clean so there is no fire risk, and fit grease filters. No cleaning interval is set. Never heat oil or fat unattended. Keep no gas bottles in basements.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarVKF rules for emergency lights: check them at least twice a year, or yearly with a status display, and keep a control book (Kontrollbuch).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarSince 1 April 2026 no fireworks of any class are allowed in publicly accessible rooms such as restaurants and bars (VKF rule 26-15).
Skrár
- LögfræðiEvery food business must run a self-check (Selbstkontrolle): good hygiene practice, HACCP principles scaled to risk and size, traceability and documentation. A business with up to 9 staff may reduce the documentation (LGV Art. 85).
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide for small businesses: look at fridge and freezer thermometers daily and write them down weekly or when a value is out of range. Keep signed delivery notes with the temperature check, a cleaning plan, pest checks and proof of training.
- Opinberar leiðbeiningarGVG guide: keep delivery documents for at least 1 year or until the next inspection. Traceability data must be kept until the food is likely eaten (LGV Art. 83).
