Helgi Helgason, managing director of the West Iceland Health Protection Authority, told ruv.is that they had also sent a blistering letter to the company.
The letter stated that if the work methods of Gæðakokkar when producing food items are not improved, their operating license will be reconsidered.
The police will now decide whether Gæðakokkar will be charged.
