View Official Resource →Greenland Raw Milk Laws & Regulations
Autonomous territory of Denmark with its own government. Local dairy farming is minimal given the Arctic climate; traditional consumption of raw dairy from reindeer herding occurs. Not bound by EU food law.
Legal Status & Regulations
Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) is an autonomous territory of Denmark and the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Greenland has its own parliament (Inatsisartut) and government (Naalakkersuisut) and is not a member of the European Union, meaning EU food safety regulations do not apply.
Conventional dairy farming is minimal in Greenland due to the Arctic climate; there is no significant commercial dairy sector. Traditional Greenlandic food culture (kalaalimernit) centers on marine mammals, fish, and reindeer, with some reindeer herding communities consuming raw dairy products in the traditional subsistence context. The Government of Greenland's food safety framework is administered through its own agencies independent of Danish national law. No formal consumer raw milk authorization framework exists in the conventional sense, given the near-absence of commercial dairy production.
