About Fødevarestyrelsen

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration is part of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. We work for sustainable food production with a focus on safe food and healthy animals. Among other things, we are behind the well-known smiley controls in cafes and restaurants, monitor animal health and welfare, and are responsible for the official dietary guidelines for the population. We have approximately 1500 employees in total, including lawyers, veterinarians, IT specialists, inspectors, laboratory technicians, and office staff distributed throughout the country. At least one thing we have in common: We work for food.
