Another shipment of meat with salmonella has been imported for distribution on the Albanian market. In recent days, two Albanian companies that deal with the trade of imported meat have introduced several shipments that, after samples were taken, resulted in salmonella by ISUV, which is an internationally certified laboratory for such analyses. 

In this case, after ascertaining contamination with salmonella after the analyses are carried out, the BIP inspector at the border who has received the samples orders the subject to return the imported quantity to the country of origin.

But this is not what happened. By order of the Director General of the AKU, Manush Kullolli, on 20.06.205, it was requested that the analysis be carried out in one of the EU countries, when he himself a few days ago, precisely on 30.05.2025, responded to businesses that the analyses could not be carried out abroad. It is not understood why the Director General of the AKU does not trust an institution like the AKU to carry out the analyses abroad, and why he changed his mind. With the logic used in this practice, the question arises as to why ISUV is kept in operation again and not closed, as long as it is an unreliable laboratory even for the AKU itself.

Syri TV is aware of the 2 entities that have imported the amount of meat with salmonella, but until this amount has entered the Albanian market, we will not publish their names, as they do not pose a risk to the consumer. If this amount enters the Albanian market, then we will publish their names, and we will denounce this blatant violation of the law. / Syri.tv
