La tua ispezione

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.

Valutazione igienica

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.

“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

  • LeggeChilled 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).
  • LeggeChilled 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.
  • LeggeFresh 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.
  • LeggeFrozen food: −18°C or colder, with a short rise to −15°C allowed (art. 22/1).
  • LeggeHot 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.
  • LeggeCooling: from 60°C to 10°C within 2 hours at most (art. 23 §2).
  • LeggeReheating: 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.
  • Linee guida ufficialiBelgian law sets no core cooking temperature. Guide G-023 says “well heated” means at least 2 minutes at 70°C in the centre.
  • Linee guida ufficialiCooled dishes are kept 3 to 4 days at most, labelled with the dish, the cooling date and the use-by date (G-023).

Personale, formazione e salute

  • LeggeBelgian 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).
  • Linee guida ufficialiThe 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.
  • LeggeThe medical certificate for food handlers was abolished on 11 August 2018.
  • Linee guida ufficialiStaff 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.

Allergeni

  • LeggeThe 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).
  • LeggeFor 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.
  • LeggeSpoken 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.
  • LeggeYou must always show a clear written notice that says where to find or ask for allergen information and that recipes can change.

Controlli di sicurezza antincendio

  • LeggeFire 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.
  • LeggeEvacuation drill for staff: at least once a year (Codex, art. III.3-26 §2).
  • LeggeLow-voltage electrical installations are inspected every 5 years by an accredited inspection body (AREI/RGIE).
  • LeggeGas, 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.
  • Linee guida ufficialiHood 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.

Registri

  • LeggeEvery 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).
  • Linee guida ufficialiSmall businesses can use the relaxations in the FAVV guide G-044 (version 2, 25 October 2024) or the hospitality guide G-023.
  • Linee guida ufficialiCheck fridges and freezers every day and write the temperatures down. Every cold unit needs a thermometer accurate to 1°C (art. 21).
  • Linee guida ufficialiKeep 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).
