The Department trains specialists in the control of food safety and quality. Veterinary sanitary inspection is a core activity within veterinary medicine, as public health and the economic stability of the state depend directly on the safety and quality of food products.

The Department’s history dates back to 1881 with the establishment of an independent veterinary school in Lviv. Following its transformation into the Lviv Veterinary Academy in 1897, veterinary-sanitary expertise developed rapidly, beginning with courses on Animal and Meat Inspection and Meat Science. Between 1881 and 1921, these courses were taught by Professors A. Baranskyi, Ya. Prus, M. Hrabovskyi, Z. Markovskyi, T. Holobut, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine A. Gotlib. Notably, Professor Alfred Travinsky established a separate department in 1925 called the Institute of Animal-Derived Food Science, to which the Milk Hygiene course was added in 1930.

Currently, the Department’s staff focus on integrating international standards for food safety and quality into the educational process, increasing the proportion of laboratory-based training in production environments, and maintaining international collaboration with leading universities and organizations.

In 2024, the Department participated in the accreditation of the educational program Veterinary Hygiene, Sanitation, and Expertise. As a result, the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance highly evaluated the educational environment and granted positive accreditation approval, valid until 1 July 2029.
