Hygiene, registration and allergens, explained briefly and linked to official sources.
Discuss my projectSelect a card to open the relevant document or guidance from the authority.
Regulation (EC) No 852/2004
Hygiene rules and procedures based on HACCP principles. Documentation and records should fit the nature and size of the business.
Read the regulation on EUR-LexSanepid registrationApply before starting
For activities supervised by the sanitary inspection, an application for registration or approval and registration is submitted at least 14 days before the planned start. This is not a promise of a decision within 14 days.
How to apply to the inspectionLabelling in PolishProduct information
Food sold in Poland needs Polish labelling. Review mandatory information, ingredients, allergens, date marking and storage conditions according to the product category.
Check food labelling requirementsUnpackaged food and allergensMenus, displays and sales
Ingredient information with highlighted allergens must be accessible without asking staff. A QR code alone is insufficient. Some products have additional requirements.
Check allergen information rulesPN standards and legislationDifferent kinds of documents
PKN explains that applying Polish Standards is voluntary. Check binding legal requirements separately, as well as contractual and customer requirements.

already be asking.
I am still in Ukraine. Can we start?
Yes. We can review the concept, menu, premises plan and equipment online before you relocate.
What language will the documents use?
Documents for operations in Poland are prepared in Polish, with explanations in Ukrainian or Russian.
Do you guarantee Sanepid approval?
The relevant authority makes that decision. I help prepare processes, premises, documents and staff within the agreed scope.
Will a ready-made HACCP PDF work?
The PDF or Word format does not determine suitability. The content must match your products, processes, equipment and actual way of working.
