View Official Resource →Denmark Raw Milk Laws & Regulations
Farm-gate sales to consumers are legal. Raw milk may also be supplied by farms directly to food businesses such as shops and restaurants.
Legal Status & Regulations
Denmark permits farm-gate sales of raw milk (ra maelk) directly to consumers. Farms registered as primary producers under the Central Livestock Register (CHR) may sell raw milk collected within 24 hours of milking. The Hygiene Guidance (Hygiejnevejledningen) issued by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Foedevarestyrelsen) governs hygiene standards; no separate raw milk sales registration is required.
Raw milk may also be supplied from farms directly to food businesses such as shops and restaurants, which may then sell it to consumers. Some farms operate self-service milk taps for direct sales.
