Food-chain safety tests in the ham-product sphere

Prior to the Easter-season, the National Foodchain-safety Authority has ordered a detailed check-up to examine all ham-products. The county-authorities have checked producers as well as shops.

Throughout the controlling process, more than 53 products from more than 25 producers have been examined in the laboratories of the authority, which means 373 laboratory examinations.

It is important to note that none of the prodzcts examined proved to be ingected by salmonella or isteria monocytogenes bacteria, however the salt-content of two products were not commensurate with the presciptions, which will lead to further penalities.
