The product is distributed in 10 circles

Martin Jorgaqi, the Director of Risk Management of the NFA, has provided details to Report TV on chicken contaminated with salmonella that the AKU has blocked.

What is the amount of salmonella meat? When did you come to the port?

The amount of salmonella contaminated meat came from imports, from Brazil, and the National Food Authority based on monitoring and sampling plans at border inspection points, carried out such procedure and it turned out that the product was contaminated with salmonella. The quantity of which it is about is 7.9 tons.

How many of this quantity has come to the market and how much is blocked?

AKU with getting info from the Food and Veterinary Safety Institute, which is the reference lab in the country, took action to identify the business oiperator who had completed this import and went to its premises within the day and carried out controls to find the product, and in the control of the control we have, the traceability, which is an important process, which is an important process. List, legal forms that are obliged to keep, we go to the points where he traded to enable the retreat (is of the Product.

At this point we had a non -positive problem regarding the Food Business Operator because it did not have the traceability lists held by the rule, making it difficult for us to collect the product in an immediate way, but we had the Bashkurating Department we could provide 154 Invoice and Tax. In the 10 regions where it was distributed, we went and announced as the consumer and made it possible to withdraw the product that was not sold.

We also posted photos of the product for the consumer he had bought and returned this product. So far we are talking we have turned 4 tons – 4 tons and a half tons. For which we are still on the ground, in the importing subject to make possible returns of this product that is on the ground. We do not have an accurate and official figure currently, porn in the coming days, we will update the information.

Do you know what the amount of meat contaminated in total is?

The 7.8 tonne load which has resulted, in the sample plane with salmonella load above the permitted rates. Also in the check we are doing in the importing subject we have managed to block other amounts of product that this operator has in its warehouse. We’ve been blocking all this quantity, we got samples for other lots to see if there are contaminated products or not?

Who is the importer of this product?

Currently, I cannot officially give the name of this importer, as the NFA regarding the problems and legal violations it has found in this business oiperator has also referred it to the Prosecutor’s Office, and being a process that is underway, we do not want to create interference with other law enforcement agencies.

Why wasn’t the public not announced on March 21?

On March 21, the AKU received the info for the analysis report and was immediately laid in the summer for blocking the quantity in stock. With our bodies we came out on the ground, we made the consumer’s announcement at trading marketers where we had info that this operator had distributed its products. Both with the product of the product and the explanation for the return of this product to the consumptions who had bought and refrigerated or their premises.

Do you have the bills to whom did this product go?

Invoices are part of the traceability process, which is an obligation by law by the business operating to keep up -to -date and make available the AKU for the tracking of the product, this was one of the business operator. This was precisely a major violation of the operator of your business that did not update these lists and we had to make a cooperation agreement with the Directorate General of Taxation to specify all the sales and spent the time needed and people to control other bills that probably had nothing to do with this product.
