Abstract
The law aims to enhance transparency in official food control by making control results accessible to consumers in an understandable manner. The law requires food business operators to promptly make the food monitoring transparency barometer available to consumers upon receipt. This barometer visually represents the control results using a color gradient from green to red, with an arrow indicating the specific assessment. The law also includes provisions for additional official controls upon request, enforcement powers, and penalty regulations for non-compliance.
