## Danish Context & Terminology

**Fødevarestyrelsen** is the Danish government authority (the Veterinary and Food Administration) that inspects food businesses and publishes results — it is not affiliated with eSmiley. eSmiley is a private company that helps businesses comply with Fødevarestyrelsen's requirements.

**The Smiley rating system** is Denmark's mandatory public food safety scheme. Businesses are rated with one of three smileys — happy (no remarks), middle (injunction issued), or sad (penalties/approval withdrawn) — displayed visibly at the entrance. A fourth tier, the Elite smiley, existed previously but was retired in 2023.

**Egenkontrol** is the legally required self-inspection process (based on HACCP) that all Danish food businesses must maintain. eSmiley's Digital HACCP Management system digitalises this requirement.
