Registration of Market Operator Facilities in Lviv

Registration of market operator facilities is a mandatory procedure for all entrepreneurs and companies engaged in the production, storage, transportation, or sale of food products. It is carried out in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles and Requirements for the Safety and Quality of Food Products” and involves entering data into the official Register of Facilities of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.

The Olson Lviv law firm provides professional facility registration services in Lviv, ensuring fast and legal processing with minimal time investment for the client.

Who is a Market Operator and When Facility Registration is Required

A market operator of food products is an individual or legal entity engaged in any activity related to food products, including:

• production and processing (meat, dairy, confectionery, fish products, beverages, etc.);

• operation of catering establishments (cafés, restaurants, bars, coffee shops);

• storage of products (warehouses, cold storage facilities);

• transportation of food products;

• retail and wholesale trade;

• import and export of food products.

Registration of production facilities in Lviv is mandatory before starting operations. Without being entered into the register, the activity is considered illegal and subject to fines.

Why Facility Registration with the State Service in Lviv is Necessary

Completing the procedure provides the market operator with the following advantages:

• Legality of operations — work is prohibited without registration.

• Official status — the ability to obtain certificates, cooperate with partners, and participate in tenders.

• Consumer trust — confirmation that products are produced and stored in compliance with standards.

• Avoidance of fines — significant financial penalties are imposed for operating without registration.
