Salt counterfeiting may reduce the foreign demand for Polish food products

The Polish food industry worries about the reduction of foreign demand, because Czech and Slovak food producer chambers called for a boycott of Polish products, due to widespread counterfeiting of salt in Poland.

At the end of February, a widespread counterfeiting scandal broke out in Poland. It was revealed that three companies sold a monthly thousands tons of not eating quality salt for more than ten years to meat, fish and milk processing plants and bakeries. These products could be sold anywhere, but the prosecution did not disclosed the list of the food processors, that used the counterfeit salt yet. (MTI)
