The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA) recently evaluated the norovirus knowledge of kitchen staff across Denmark. The evaluation was conducted following a campaign by the agency to educate Danish restaurant workers on norovirus and its control measures. DVFA found that many kitchen staff were insufficiently informed on norovirus or how to control its spread.
DVFA visited over 1,000 food businesses and found 39 violations that were most often related to handwashing or bathroom activity. The agency focused on restaurants, catering businesses, bakers, butchers, and other similar establishments.
