La tua ispezione
Food control is the task of the governor (Landeshauptmann) of each of the 9 federal states. The Land’s trained food inspectors (Lebensmittelaufsicht) do the visits; in Vienna this is the Market Office MA 59. The agency AGES tests official samples.
Controls are based on risk, under a 3-year national control plan. After a visit the inspector can ask in writing for faults to be fixed by a deadline, or issue a formal order. Orders can go as far as closing all or part of the business. Fines are up to €35,000, and up to €70,000 for repeat cases.
Valutazione igienica
Austria has no public hygiene rating or sticker. Results are not published for each business, and there is nothing to display at the door.
“Legge” è una norma vincolante. “Linee guida ufficiali” non sono legge, ma gli ispettori se le aspettano. “Chef Hygiene predefinito” è un valore che l’app controlla quando nessuna norma fornisce un numero.
Temperature
- Linee guida ufficialiChilled food: 0–4°C, with a tolerance up to 6°C. Chef Hygiene aims for 4°C and flags readings above 6°C. No Austrian law sets restaurant temperatures; this is the ministry’s guideline (Beilage 1b).
- Linee guida ufficialiRecommended maximum for restaurants: poultry, rabbit and raw mince 4°C, other meat 7°C, offal 3°C. Raw fish is kept at melting-ice temperature. A fridge with mixed food is set to the lowest temperature needed.
- Linee guida ufficialiFrozen food: −18°C, with a tolerance up to −15°C.
- Linee guida ufficialiHot food: as hot as possible, in any case above 70°C. A short drop is tolerated if the food stays safe. The staff leaflet says at least 75°C for hot food on offer.
- Linee guida ufficialiCooling: cool food that is not eaten at once quickly to 0–4°C (6°C at most), if possible within 2 hours, and keep it there.
- Linee guida ufficialiReheating: a core temperature of at least 75°C for several minutes.
- Linee guida ufficialiCooking: hot dishes with raw egg reach 75°C in the core. Mince, poultry and fish must be well heated through; the guideline gives no number.
- Linee guida ufficialiSalads on a buffet for more than 2 hours must be kept chilled.
- Linee guida ufficialiDeliveries: refuse frozen food above −15°C, and chilled food more than 3°C above the product’s own set temperature. Chef Hygiene uses 7°C as one number for chilled deliveries.
Personale, formazione e salute
- LeggeFood workers must be supervised and trained in food hygiene for their work (EU Regulation 852/2004). Austrian law sets no certificate, hours or renewal.
- Linee guida ufficialiThe ministry’s guideline asks for training at least once a year, at hiring and when tasks change, in a language the worker understands. Record place, date, topic, length, trainer and signatures, and keep the record for 3 years.
- Linee guida ufficialiHealth instruction (Belehrung), oral and written with a signed form, at the start and once a year.
- Linee guida ufficialiSick staff: no food work with diarrhoea or vomiting, infected wounds, or skin disease that cannot be covered. Stay away at least 48 hours after symptoms end, unless an infection is ruled out. Disinfect hands after every toilet visit for 3 weeks. Staff must tell you at once.
- LeggeStaff who give allergen information by word of mouth must be trained, and the training must be documented (Allergeninformationsverordnung § 3).
Allergeni
- LeggeThe 14 EU allergens: cereals with gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs.
- LeggeFor food that is not prepacked, give the allergen information in writing without being asked. Or put up a clearly visible notice that staff give it by word of mouth on request (Allergeninformationsverordnung § 3).
- LeggeInformation by word of mouth must come from trained staff and always be based on written records, such as recipes and supplier labels (§§ 3 and 4).
- Linee guida ufficialiThe official Austrian Food Code (Codex A5) has letter codes A to R for the 14 allergens. You may use them only with a legend headed “Allergeninformation gemäß Codex-Empfehlung”.
Controlli di sicurezza antincendio
- LeggeFire extinguishers and fixed extinguishing systems are checked at least every second calendar year, and no more than 27 months apart, by a competent person. Keep the record for 3 years or use a sticker with the test date (AStV § 13).
- LeggeEmergency lighting, alarm devices, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and fire alarm systems are checked every year, no more than 15 months apart. Emergency lights and escape signs are checked by eye every month (AStV § 13).
- LeggeThe electrical installation is tested by an electrician at most every 5 years. The labour inspectorate can set 3 years for wet or hot areas. The RCD test button is pressed at least every 6 months unless the maker says otherwise (ESV 2012).
- LeggeGas checks are set by each federal state’s own gas law, with no national interval. Vienna and Styria set none; others range from 2 to 15 years. A permitted business plant is self-checked every 5 or 6 years (GewO § 82b).
- LeggeA fire safety book, fire safety rules and yearly fire drills are required only where the authority has ordered a fire safety officer (AStV §§ 43, 45).
Registri
- LeggeYou need own checks based on HACCP principles (EU Regulation 852/2004). The ministry’s guideline for restaurants says normal restaurant cooking needs no critical control points if good hygiene practice controls the hazards.
- Linee guida ufficialiCheck fridge and freezer temperatures every working day, if possible at the start of work. Write down faults and what you did, and keep that record for 2 months past the food’s shelf life, at least 1 year.
- Linee guida ufficialiKeep training records for 3 years. Document pest checks at least every 3 months. Review the HACCP system every year, and at the latest every 2 years.
- Linee guida ufficialiKeep a cleaning plan, with a deep clean at least once a year, and goods-in checks of chilled and frozen deliveries.
