Technical information about this website’s accessibility
This website is partially compliant with the Swedish accessibility regulations, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content described below is, in one way or another, not fully accessible.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
- In the Talking Web reading tool, there is a button where language changes are not indicated in a machine-readable way. In the Firefox browser, the focus order and focus highlighting for Talking Web may differ from the visual one. The deficiencies have been reported to the software company for action.
- The functions for zooming in and out and changing the size of content are not activated on the videos utb.story.htm and vildsvin.story.htm. To solve the problem, the videos will be moved into a portal in the future.
- Publications published between 23 September 2018 and 1 January 2020 are not always fully accessible (see below under Disproportionate burden).
- Language changes are not always coded with language attributes. We are currently dealing with this problem. We will also include the issue in future technology upgrades for the website.
- Some of the video material on the website does not have an audio description. This applies to videos produced before 23 September 2020. All videos produced or to be produced after this date will have an audio description where required.
- Some of the Agency’s templates are currently not accessible. This means that some types of documents, such as forms, cannot be fully adapted. New templates are expected to be in place during 2025-2026.
Disproportionate burden
The Swedish Food Agency invokes an exemption for disproportionate burden in accordance with § 12 in the accessibility regulations for the content described below.
- Publications published after 23 September 2018 but before 1 January 2020 may not be fully accessible. From the perspective that many have a very narrow target audience, we currently consider it unreasonably burdensome to adapt all of these publications. However, we are working on adapting those that have a general interest and a wide audience. At the same time, we direct resources towards new technology that ensures that the publications can easily be adjusted for accessibility in the future, so-called e-publications.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
The content described below is not fully accessible, but is exempt in accordance with § 9 in the accessibility regulations.
- Few videos published before 23 September 2020.
- Most publications published before 23 September 2018. As publications more than ten years old are normally deleted, they are continuously removed from the website. However, we are working to make accessible those publications that have a high public interest and a wide audience. If you have an interest in any of these publications, contact us and we will present an accessible document.
How we tested this website
The Swedish Food Agency is regularly testing the accessibility of the website. We conduct a follow-up on the results each month. According to the results appropriate measures are taken in order to improve the accessibility.
