Denmark Tightens Livestock Farm Inspection Rules

Danish farm inspections will now be much stricter. The Danish Justice Ministry announced new rules for livestock welfare. The government will require two inspectors for every farm visit. Officials will also increase unannounced spot-checks across Danish farms.

The new measures address a recent audit report. The audit revealed a backlog of 1,500 pending welfare cases. Inspectors will work to resolve these old cases quickly. Two-person teams will ensure clearer and more accurate checks. Local consumers can expect stricter oversight of Danish meat products. The CPH Post reported these updated regulatory measures.
