Sua inspeção

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.

Classificação de higiene

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.

“Lei” é uma regra vinculativa. “Orientação oficial” não é lei, mas os inspetores esperam que seja. “Chef Hygiene padrão” é um valor que o aplicativo verifica quando nenhuma regra fornece um número.

Temperaturas

  • LeiChilled 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).
  • LeiChilled 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.
