What it is
Fødevarestyrelsen (the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration) is Denmark’s authority for food and veterinary matters. For product compliance, its relevance is food-contact materials — the packaging, utensils and articles intended to come into contact with food.
Why it matters for compliance
If your product touches food — kitchenware, packaging, tableware, certain appliances — it falls within food-contact-materials rules, and Fødevarestyrelsen is the Danish authority overseeing them. This sits alongside the general product-safety regime: a food-contact product must satisfy both the relevant material rules and the horizontal safety net.
How to use it
- Determine whether your product is a food-contact material.
- Use Fødevarestyrelsen’s guidance for the Danish application of those rules.
- Hold the documentation showing the material is suitable for food contact.
Good to know
Food-contact compliance is a distinct layer — a product can be perfectly safe electrically yet still need to prove its materials are fit to touch food.
