Nébih suspends a meat factory in Túrkeve
The National Food Chain Safety Office has suspended the operation of a meat plant in Túrkeve with immediate effect due to serious food safety risks and activities carried out without a permit, the Nébih informed MTI on Tuesday.
The authority immediately removed 9.6 tons of untraceable and illegally carried out food and food with expired expiration dates from circulation, it was announced.
According to the inspectors’ experience, the premises of the plant, several tools and equipment used in food production, as well as the workers’ work clothes, were heavily contaminated, and several areas were contaminated with rodent droppings.
The walls and ceilings, as well as their sheet metal coverings, were damaged or corroded in several rooms. In several cases, the food produced in the plant was stored in boxes without a base, on the floor. The device disinfectants in the unit were also not working or did not have the temperature display necessary to monitor proper operation.
They said: during the inspection, the inspectors found a room not shown on the factory floor plan, including a freezer container that could be mounted on a car. In the storage room, the inspectors found mutton and offal, cut venison, and skinned frozen deer carcasses placed directly on the floor
– they wrote.
According to the inspectors’ experience, the factory’s traceability system had not been in operation since November 2024 and, based on the permit, neither sheep nor game processing could have been carried out in the unit.
