Fødevareklagenævnet

Fødevareklagenævnet is the Danish Food Appeals Board. It is an independent administrative appeals board that handles complaints and appeals related to decisions made by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen). The board's primary function is to ensure fair and consistent application of food and animal welfare legislation.

Individuals, businesses, and organizations that are dissatisfied with a decision from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration can submit an appeal to Fødevareklagenævnet. This includes decisions concerning food safety, hygiene, labeling, animal health, and animal welfare. The board reviews the case based on the submitted documentation, relevant legislation, and any additional information it deems necessary.

The work of Fødevareklagenævnet contributes to the overall trust and integrity of the Danish food sector. By providing an avenue for independent review, the board helps to uphold consumer protection and ensure that businesses operate in compliance with the law. Its decisions are binding for the parties involved and can set precedents for future cases. The board is composed of members with legal expertise and relevant professional backgrounds in areas such as veterinary medicine and food science.
