NKFH: Consumer protection officers inspected hundreds of stores and restaurants operated in the Far East
Consumer protection authorities inspected hundreds of shops and restaurants operated in the Far East, and fines of around 20 million forints were imposed during the nationwide targeted inspection, and 15 restaurants were closed, the National Trade and Consumer Protection Authority (NKFH) told MTI.
The statement highlighted that during the nationwide inspection initiated by the NKFH to inspect commercial and catering establishments operated in the Far East, the experts inspected 120 commercial and 155 catering units in cooperation with county government offices.
The most common problems identified in the commercial sector during the inspections included incorrect product labeling, especially the lack of information in Hungarian (35 percent), and lack of traceability (22 percent). In addition, the lack of a valid health book for employees was observed in one fifth of the inspected units (21 percent), the statement explained.
The main problems in the catering sector were identified as deficiencies in the traceability of raw materials (55 percent) and inadequate hygiene conditions (47 percent).
Of particular concern is that in 15 cases, serious food safety and hygiene deficiencies led the authorities to impose restrictions on operations. In restaurants, the lack of proper food labeling was also a significant problem (24 percent), the statement said.
