NAV: Tax inspectors found almost two tons of expired cheese in a van

According to the statement, when the vehicle was inspected, there were 1,930 kilograms of cheese blocks with an expiration date of more than a year on the platform, which was unsuitable for transporting food.

Based on the labels, they were listed as being of Dutch origin, but the driver and his passenger could not present any documents that would prove this, and they said that they were taking the food to be destroyed.

As they wrote, the behavior of the two men raised suspicions that the shipment was intended for sale, so the tax officers decided to escort the vehicle.

The driver did not turn into the warehouse at the exit in front of the landfill. The patrol officers then stopped the vehicle again and notified the government office staff.

The experts determined that the expired food of unknown origin was unfit for consumption, so they immediately seized the products and ordered their destruction, the statement said.
