ஆய்வு அமைப்பு

Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet)

One national authority inspects: Mattilsynet (the Norwegian Food Safety Authority), under the Food Act (matloven, § 23). Municipalities only help on request. You must register your business before you start.

There is no fixed interval: Mattilsynet decides from risk and capacity. Visits are mostly unannounced, and some controls are digital. After a visit the steps are written guidance, then an order to correct with a deadline, then a coercive fine (tvangsmulkt). Mattilsynet can close an activity for up to 6 months for ignored orders or gross breaches. A follow-up control costs NOK 2,775 in person or NOK 1,388 otherwise.

சுகாதார மதிப்பீடு

Yes: Smilefjes (smiley). The three symbols are Smilefjes (no breach, or only trivial ones), Strekmunn (straight mouth: breaches) and Sur munn (sour mouth: serious or repeated breaches). The report must hang next to the entrance, visible before guests go in. Results are published on smilefjes.mattilsynet.no.
