Utvärdering av användandet av Smiley-systemet : Miljökontor och livsmedelsverksamheter i två kommuner i Skåne

Sammanfattning: A system for the publication of the control results on food businesses were introduced in Sweden but for various reasons it was never fully implemented. It was, however, a few municipalities in Sweden which became curious about this system and gradually began to use it. In this study, I have investigated what perceptions and views local authorities and associated food businesses that use the system have and if they think that it is a good system. 2 municipalities were interviewed with related food industries and a simple questionnaire about their views on the system was sent to a few more establishments. The results showed that local authorities were satisfied with the system and considered that so far there were no disadvantages to the system. The food businesses felt that the Smiley system was mainly a positive system, and in their view above all for the customer. The non-premier a Smiley considered it a positive system so long as it was done in the right way. The majority of the interviewed businesses felt that there was a marketing value in having the Smiley sticker.
