Lebensmittel (Marktüberwachung)

With the help of food monitoring, Community trade is facilitated and the supply of the population with consistently high quality is ensured.

Agricultural products of animal and plant origin are checked by quality inspectors for compliance with EU and German quality standards and trade classes in production facilities, egg packing stations and slaughterhouses, as well as in wholesalers and retail distribution centers (the so-called "bottlenecks" of marketing).
Uniform quality criteria facilitate Community trade and thus ensure that the population is supplied with consistently high quality products.

The monitoring activities take place primarily in the market sectors of beef and pork, eggs and poultry, fruit, vegetables and table potatoes (economic consumer protection).

Contact persons and further information on food monitoring can also be found on the website of the Verband der Lebensmittelkontrolleure im Lande Schleswig-Holstein e. V. (Association of Food Inspectors in Schleswig-Holstein).
