The Danish food authority, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA), is renowned for its efficiency and for conducting regular inspections of food business operators. We provide tailored guidance to food companies before, during, and after inspections by the DVFA.
If a food business operator wishes to appeal a decision made by the food authority, we offer expert advice on selecting the appropriate strategy, whether pursuing an administrative or legal appeal. Additionally, we assist with food recalls, whether voluntary or mandated by the authority.
Our specialists possess extensive legal and commercial expertise within the field, gained from experience with Danish and European authorities as well as private companies. We offer services throughout the food chain, focusing on research and development (R&D), production, distribution, and retail.
