Twenty-three “fillable” sweet pepper seeds were examined by experts. Two products have problems with germination, and seven have initiated a consumer protection procedure with the involvement of the competent partner authority due to less seed weight and number of seeds than promised, the agency announced on Wednesday.

In summer, most of the “stuffed” peppers are popular, so in the spring their seeds were tested by Supermenta. Specialists examined seeds in small sacks, i.e. for sowing in small gardens.

In Nébih’s laboratories, the experts examined whether the seed packages contained seeds of foreign species other than peppers, as well as the possible presence of GMOs. (MTI)
