What it is
Livsmedelsverket (the Swedish Food Agency) is Sweden’s authority for food and, for product compliance, 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 Livsmedelsverket is the Swedish authority overseeing them. This sits alongside the general product-safety regime handled by Konsumentverket.
How to use it
- Determine whether your product is a food-contact material.
- Use Livsmedelsverket guidance for the Swedish 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 safe in every other respect yet still need to prove its materials are fit to touch food.
