Luxemburg: inspecții alimentare

In Luxembourg the app follows the food control law of 2 April 2026, ALVA’s inspection sheets and the HORESCA hygiene guide; ALVA is the only inspector, and there is no public rating.

Organismul de inspecție

Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration (Administration luxembourgeoise vétérinaire et alimentaire, ALVA)

ALVA is the one national food inspection body, under the minister for Agriculture, Food and Viticulture. Its agents and customs (ADA) agents carry out hygiene checks in restaurants. There are no regional or local food inspectors.

Controls are risk-based, and ALVA publishes no fixed interval. Inspectors can read all records, including digital ones, take samples and buy food anonymously. The owner gets a written report with fixes and deadlines. ALVA can order emergency measures, withdraw the registration or close the business with seals. Administrative fines run from €250 to €10,000. Serious cases go to court (law of 2 April 2026).

Evaluare igienică

Luxembourg has no public hygiene rating, no sticker and no duty to display results. ALVA publishes yearly summaries and the list of registered sites, not scores. Inspectors use ALVA’s checklist “Hygiène de base”, which scores each item as compliant, minor or major.
