The sale of food at farmers' markets is governed by applicable legislation. The paper focuses on the number of inspections carried out by the Municipal Veterinary Administration in Prague of the State Veterinary Administration, which also supervises the sale of food of animal origin at farmers' markets held in the capital city of Prague. In the period 2017–2022, a total of 372 inspections were carried out, of which an average of 27% of inspections per year found some kind of violation of legislation (defect); in individual years, the defect rate of inspections ranged from 18 to 40%, which is higher than the defect rate of hygienic supervision in production and during sale of food of animal origin, where the average annual defect rate is in the range of 5–10%. Most of the defects were in the area of insufficient traceability, non-compliance with the cold chain and failure to secure food from contamination from the external environment. The fewest defects were reported by eggs and honey, while the highest number of infringements was found, meat products and dairy products. Neither a decreasing nor an upward trend in defects at farmers' markets in Prague was found.
