Potraviny na pranýři: Prague records and how to check a place
USD 21,86
Popular
As of 30 October 2026, the Potraviny na pranýři register holds 7 current records of closed food businesses and shops in Prague, out of 66 across Czechia. All seven show the status “Znovu otevřeno” (reopened): the ban was lifted in full or in part. Another 34 records cover food sampled in Prague. Around Prague checked the data against the register on 30 October 2026.
What the register is
Potraviny na pranýři (“food in the pillory”) is a public website of the Czech food inspectorate SZPI, online since 10 July 2012. Its filter also lists the veterinary authority SVS, but all 100 records we opened came from SZPI.
- Establishments. Places where SZPI banned the use of all or part of the premises for serious hygiene breaches. A record gives the name, address, findings, close date, status and reopen date.
- Food. Batches that failed a check, graded unsafe, adulterated or poor quality. A record gives the sampling place and date.
“Closed” means the ban applies. “Reopened” appears once the faults are fixed and the ban is lifted, even if only for part of the premises. Records older than six months move to the archive.
How to check a place yourself
- Step 1. Open the Establishments section on potravinynapranyri.cz.
- Step 2. Search by name, trading name or street.
- Step 3. No result? Open Extended search and choose Archive, or filter by postcode, type and status.
- Step 4. In the record, read Close date, Close state, Reopen date and any note on partial closure.
- Step 5. Search that name in the Food section.
An app exists for Android and iOS. A missing record is no verdict: the register only lists closures and food that failed a check.
Prague closures: all 7 records
We opened all 66 current Establishments records, published 30 April to 26 October 2026. Seven are in Prague, listed by close date. Each record applies only to its date: the business may have fixed everything since.

What comes up most often
“Výrazně zanedbaný úklid” (neglected cleaning) appears in 6 of the seven records, rodent droppings in 3.
The Food section shows 34 records for Prague, published 4 May to 30 October 2026: 20 from retail, 9 wholesale, 3 online shops, 2 fast food. No names here: a record concerns a batch and has no decision-status field.
| What was found | Records |
|---|---|
| Pesticide limit exceeded (16 on fresh fruit and vegetables, 1 on tea) | 17 |
| Signs of spoilage: mould, off smell or taste | 5 |
| Listeria and Salmonella bacteria | 2 |
| Frying oil from a fryer | 2 |
| Foreign enzymes: the product was not honey | 2 |
| Other | 6 |
What the register does not show
Records have no field saying a decision is final, and they do not show whether the operator appealed. Under Act No. 146/2002 Sb. an appeal is due within 5 working days and does not suspend the ban.
Reporting a problem
SZPI oversees restaurants, cafés, bars and fast food, and you can file a complaint on the register site. See our Prague restaurant guide and safety guide.
