The role of food control is to monitor and promote the safety, proper quality and composition of food and to prevent and eliminate any adverse health effects arising from food. In addition to food, it controls the manufacture and other handling, storage, transport, sale, serving, other forms of supply and marketing of food. Controls are carried out on primary production, food production plants, wholesalers, warehouses, transport vehicles, shops, kiosks, kitchens and their serving areas, mobile sales and serving areas, etc.

The content and implementation of food control is covered in the Environmental Health Services Control Plan. The results of the regular inspections of food premises are published on the Oivahymy website and in the food premises. For more information on the display of Oiva reports, click here.
