Food inspection
Every consumer expects flawless and safe food. First of all, everyone who is an entrepreneur in the food chain is responsible for this.
Food control authorities shall carry out risk-based, systematic controls and sampling to verify whether food business operators have implemented and comply with the requirements of food law and, where appropriate, enforce them.
If deficiencies are detected, it is the task of the official food control to ensure that they are rectified immediately and that infringements of existing legislation are punished.
Monitoring is organised in a similar way for cosmetics, tobacco products and consumer goods.
Further information can also be found on the website of the Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (LAVES).
