Food Inspectors Found Flaws in 6.4 percent of Checks in First Half of 2019
Bratislava, 05.09.2019
In the first half of 2019, the so-called ‘food cobra’ carried out 30,001 food inspections from primary production to store counters, finding flaws in 6.4 percent of the checks, said Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Gabriela Matecna (Slovak National Party/SNS) at a press conference on Thursday.“This year has been extremely demanding in terms of food quality and safety. We had to deal with the Polish beef scandal in the spring, while the detection of the African swine fever virus in eastern Slovakia is resonating at the moment. These cases show that if we want safe food on our tables, we must always be alert. We decided to intensify food inspections when compared to last year. In the first half of the year our veterinary and food inspectors carried out up to 30,000 checks at all stages of the food chain, from primary producers to online sales,” said Matecna, adding that the inspectors examined primary producers, packaging plants, distributors, wholesale warehouses, hypermarkets, supermarkets and small shops. Checks were also conducted at marketplaces, petrol stations and on e-shops. odkaz na stránku
