Hamburg Hygiene Seal for Food Establishments

The city of Hamburg is planning to introduce a hygiene seal. The aim is to voluntarily publish the results of official inspections in food establishments to provide consumers with more transparency.

Companies that perform particularly well in this regard can clearly display this in the future with a poster or sticker.

During the official inspections of the establishments, not only hygiene shall be checked and evaluated, but also other aspects, such as the behavior of the entrepreneur (e.g., regarding compliance with legal regulations or hygiene training) and the reliability of self-monitoring. A standardized point system was introduced as a basis for evaluation. Only establishments with very good or good results can receive the Hamburg hygiene seal and publish it. 

From May 2018, gastronomic establishments can initially participate in a pilot phase.
