7,096 food businesses in København. 97.8% received the best smiley rating at their latest inspection.
Food hygiene in København is regulated by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen) using the Smiley scheme (Smiley-ordningen). Denmark was the first country in the world to introduce mandatory food hygiene ratings in 2001. The current consumer-facing scheme uses a happy, straight-mouth, or sour smiley. The underlying source can retain numeric sanction codes, so this directory reports those source categories without presenting them as four current smiley levels.
In København, there are 7,096 food businesses covered by the Smiley scheme. In the July 22, 2026 source snapshot, 97.8% have code 1, corresponding to the best result. The former Elite Smiley programme is no longer a current award and is not used in these comparisons.
When eating out in Denmark, look for the smiley sticker displayed at the entrance. The most recent inspection result is always shown first. Danish food safety standards are among the highest in the world, and the transparency of the Smiley system gives consumers real power to make informed choices. All inspection reports are publicly available on the findsmiley.dk website.

The source snapshot contains 6,161 food businesses in København with source code 1 (happy smiley), representing 97.8% of all rated establishments. A happy smiley means no issues were found during the most recent inspection.
A sour smiley is the poorest result in Denmark's current consumer-facing Smiley scheme. It indicates that the authority found serious non-compliance and may have issued an injunction, prohibition or fine. Check the linked official inspection report for the exact finding and current status.
In Denmark, inspection frequency depends on the type and risk level of the business. Standard food businesses are inspected 1-3 times per year. Businesses with poor results are inspected more frequently. Inspection frequency is set by the authority and should be checked in current official guidance.
