The failure of the National Food Authority to protect food safety is being blamed on consumer health.
During September, peaches imported from Greece were traded in our country, which resulted in the level of pesticide residues "Phosmet" being above the permitted norm, which poses a risk to human health.
This pesticide can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats and changes in blood pressure. It is also associated with problems in the respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems.
Official sources for "Ora News" television indicate that the amount of peaches imported from Greece is 7324 kg.
After almost 7,300 kg were sold, AKU inspectors went to the field and seized only 28 kg of peaches with the dangerous pesticide.
While food safety is at its most critical point, the NFA refuses to be transparent with the media and consumers by hiding the name of the entity that imported the product that endangered the lives of citizens.
