During the week of November 13-19, the National Food Authority (AKU) has carried out over 2,099 inspections on a national scale in various commercial food entities, within the plan of measures to guarantee food safety and protect consumer health.
According to AKU, 1441 inspections were carried out at border crossing points, from where 199 samples were taken for laboratory analysis.
From the controls carried out, 92183 kg of products that were outside the standards for consumption were destroyed, while 32.5 liters of other products were blocked due to lack of documentation.
For the detected violations, AKU imposed 7 administrative fines in the amount of 1,100,000 ALL, as well as issued 102 administrative warning measures for the identified deficiencies.
AKU appeals to subjects to respect the standards and rules of food safety, as it announces that the intensification of controls on a national scale continues in all commercial food subjects, warehouses or food service units.
