Experts from the National Food Chain Safety Authority (Nébih) tested zucchini seeds in the latest product test of the Supermint program, and based on laboratory measurements, the germination capacity of one product did not reach the limit value specified in the regulation, the authority told MTI on Thursday.

In the Supermint comparative study, 11 seeds intended for small garden sowing were tested, including four hybrids. Nébih laboratory experts checked the main quality indicators – including germination capacity and purity – and also performed a virological test.

Based on the measurement results, an objection was raised in one case, the germination capacity of the seed did not reach the limit value specified in the regulation. Due to a quality defect, the official inspectors warned the distributor concerned and asked it to destroy the batch still in stock, the statement said.

The experts also checked the mandatory markings and basic product information on the zucchini seed packaging. Another aspect of the inspection was whether the seeds were offered to customers in sealed packaging that preserved their quality. The tested products met all criteria.
