La tua ispezione
The municipal food control inspects restaurants (Food Act 297/2021, § 27). The Regional State Administrative Agency guides and checks the municipalities. The Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) leads the work nationally. A restaurant is a registered food activity, and you must tell the municipality at least 4 weeks before you start.
Visits are mostly unannounced. How often depends on the risk: guidance gives a restaurant cooking from raw animal food 0.5 to 2 inspections a year by size. You pay a yearly base fee of EUR 150 plus the municipality’s hourly fee. After faults the inspector can order a correction, ban food or the activity, close a registered activity if an order is ignored, or set a conditional fine. A sanction fee of EUR 300 to 5,000 applies for example for no own-check, no registration or no traceability.
Valutazione igienica
Yes: Oiva, the national scheme. Four grades: A Oivallinen (excellent), B Hyvä (good), C Korjattavaa (to be corrected) and D Huono (poor). The weakest item sets the result. The latest report must be shown at the entrance, on your website and where you sell food online, and results are public on oivahymy.fi.
“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
- LeggeFridge: other perishable food, raw meat and cooked dishes at 6°C or colder. Minced meat 4°C. Fresh packed, cold-smoked and thawed raw fish and cooked shellfish at 0 to 3°C (decree 318/2021, § 23).

- LeggeRaw fish for eating raw: freeze at −20°C for 24 hours or −35°C for 15 hours, unless exempt (EU Regulation 853/2004).
Personale, formazione e salute
- LeggeHygiene passport (hygieniapassi): needed by anyone who handles unpackaged perishable food, after 3 months of such work. Owners, trainees and volunteers too (Food Act, § 19).
- LeggeThe passport test has 40 true or false statements, and you pass with 34. It never expires. The employer must see the original and keep a record.
- LeggeSalmonella statement (terveydentilan selvitys): before work, staff who handle unpackaged food served unheated, or handled after heating, need a reliable statement of no salmonella (Communicable Diseases Act 1227/2016, § 56). It is a free interview by occupational or health-centre staff.
- LeggeStaff with an infection that food can carry, infected wounds or diarrhoea must not handle food and must tell the employer at once (EU Regulation 852/2004). After salmonella-related cases, THL advises 2 symptom-free days.
Allergeni
- LeggeThe 14 EU allergens must be given at the point of sale (decree 834/2014, §§ 6 and 8). The information is written, or oral if a visible notice says staff will tell you.
- LeggeIf you give the information orally, you must also keep it in writing or electronically for staff and inspectors. No notice is needed if the guest’s allergies were recorded in advance.
- LeggeAt a serving place the dish name and the country of origin of meat used must always be in writing. Information is given at least in Finnish or Swedish.

Registri
- LeggeYour own-check (omavalvonta) must find and control hazards, and you must record the results (Food Act, § 15; EU Regulation 852/2004, article 5). No own-check can bring a sanction fee.
- LeggeKeep own-check records at least 1 year after the use-by or best-before date, or 1 year after handling if the food has no date (decree 318/2021, § 22).
- LeggeKeep traceability data at least 1 year from sending or receiving the food.
