Słowenia: inspekcje żywności

In Slovenia the app follows the EU hygiene rules and the Law on Safe Food and Feed (ZVHK); UVHVVR food inspectors inspect, and the kitchen temperatures come from the national catering guide, not from law.

Organ inspekcyjny

Administration for Food Safety, Veterinary Sector and Plant Protection (Uprava za varno hrano, veterinarstvo in varstvo rastlin, UVHVVR)

UVHVVR food inspectors check food law in all phases, from 10 regional offices. The control plan 2025 to 2029 sets how often, by risk. A restaurant, inn or snack bar with more than 10 staff is checked about every 18 months. With fewer than 10 staff, or a café or pastry shop with its own production, about every 30 months.

For small faults the inspector gives a warning with a deadline, then a decision. If the fault is not fixed in time, or at once if there is direct danger to life or health, the inspector can ban the activity and seal the premises. Under the ZVHK (Art. 109) a company can be fined EUR 2,000 to 20,000 and a sole trader EUR 1,000 to 10,000 for breaches such as no traceability or unmet hygiene conditions.
