The first phase of the summer Nébih inspections ended with favorable experiences

The aim of the inspections, which have been ongoing since July 15, is to ensure compliance with regulations, food safety and animal welfare aspects at all stages of the food chain during activities related to the summer period.

The inspectors inspected summer equestrian camps, spritz terraces, producers of meat products intended for grilling, mineral water bottlers and soda water producers, as well as vendors at local farmers’ markets. Among others, proceedings were initiated against five equestrian camps and one company carrying out unauthorized activities, and 1.3 tons of expired, unmarked and untraceable food were withdrawn from circulation in one plant.

The summary reports that experts from the county government offices inspected the production process of prepared meat and meat products intended for grilling in 32 domestic plants, among others. The products inspected included grilled sausages intended for heat treatment, cured meats and fried sausages.

During the inspections, in addition to general hygiene conditions, the inspectors paid special attention to the storage of raw materials and finished products, traceability, allergen management, the adequacy of markings, as well as the fulfillment of business self-inspections and the existence of production documentation.

The majority of the enterprises met the legal requirements, but some facilities had minor deficiencies that could be remedied within a short period of time.

A trader had to take action due to the production of prepared meat products without a license, while 1.3 tons of expired, unmarked and untraceable food were withdrawn from circulation in another facility.
