From June 16 to August 11, the 2023 summer seasonal food chain inspection will be conducted by dr. It was ordered by Márton Nobilis, the Secretary of State responsible for the food industry and trade policy of the Ministry of Agriculture. Coordinated by the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih), the narrow two-month muster inspections are carried out by county government offices, district offices, and Nébih specialists. In connection with the summer goal check, dr. Márton Nobilis pointed out: according to this year’s fundamentally renewed concept, more concentrated attention will be directed to each significant area and popular product range, so that both the authority and the population can get a more accurate picture of the current situation. The thematic schedule enables regular information, and at the same time, all those involved will have the opportunity to correct typical errors discovered in the target areas in a timely manner.

In addition to summer camps, street food, and the “Fröccsutcák” around Lake Balaton, the target areas also include, for example, eco-farmers and summer equestrian camps

In terms of products, ice cream, melons, grilled meat, and sparkling wines will be tested in Nébih’s laboratories, but grill trays, degradable bags and veterinary products will also be “put under the microscope”, explained the state secretary. It is also a novelty that festival-goers can get an idea of the food safety situation of several important festivals in the form of a quick report with the help of regional experts.
