Anyone know what this is, please (I'm proofing) - is it the Danish Veterinary Inspectorate or something similar? It's based at a poultry slaughterhouse.

agree  Christine Andersen: I guessed Veterinærdirektoratets Laboratorium/ Ministry of Agriculture, Danish Veterinary Service Food Control Laboratory, but this looks more convincing.

veterinary inspection


Explanation:
I know of no organization called "veterinærkontrollen." As far as I know, this service ("food control and veterinary inspection" as the Fødevarestyrelsen refers to it) is carried out by the different "fødevareregioner" (regional food control centers) under the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen).
