The European Union's RASFF system, which enables immediate exchange of information, has notified Albanian authorities that sweets containing metal pieces have been imported into our country.
In the "Alert" category notification, it was announced that the product "Fruit Toffee" Mix 500g, originating from Morocco and with an expiration date of 26.04.2026, should be immediately removed from the market after pieces of metal were found in these sweets, which pose a serious risk to human health.
The presence of metal pieces was detected by the manufacturing company during a self-inspection, which subsequently requested the withdrawal of this product from the market.
"Ora News" television contacted the AKU with a request for information regarding this case. This institution informs us that the importer of the sweets is "World Wine shpk".
After inspections carried out by NFA inspectors on the ground, with the aim of blocking the product, it turned out that the subjects had sold it and there was no longer any stock.
What is striking in this case is that the AKU gives the name of the sweets, which are packaged in 500 g, but does not publish any photos of the product, which poses a risk if consumed.
In the absence of publication of the photos, we have asked this institution for information on why it does not inform citizens about these issues through its available social networks.
The AKU, which uses social media only to show off imaginary and real successes, is exceeding its responsibility by stating that the announcement was made on the official AKU website.
The failure to publish these important announcements for consumers on the AKU's social networks raises questions about the transparency of this institution, which is paid for by our taxes to protect the health of citizens.
