Croatia blocks Albanian agricultural products again.

This time, Croatian authorities have stopped two shipments, one of dried figs and another of peppers, after laboratory tests revealed high levels of aflatoxins and pesticides, above permitted limits.

According to data published on October 26 in the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, RASFF, dried figs originating from Albania have resulted in aflatoxin content 375% above the permitted norm.

Specifically, the maximum permitted limit for total aflatoxins in dried figs is 10 micrograms per kilogram, while laboratory tests have revealed a concentration of 47.5 micrograms per kilogram.

But the violation does not end there. The same shipment was also found to contain aflatoxin B1, one of the most dangerous toxins produced by mold, known for its carcinogenic properties, particularly the risk of liver cancer.

Even in this case, the results are alarming. The concentration of aflatoxin B1 was 515% above the permitted limit.

While the maximum limit is 6 micrograms per kilogram, the tests revealed 36.9 micrograms per kilogram.
Due to these results, Croatian authorities have decided to destroy the shipment of dried figs.

But food safety checks in Croatia have also uncovered problems with Albanian vegetables. Another shipment of red peppers was blocked after tests revealed residues of the pesticide chlorfenapyr, a substance used to combat insects and plant pests.

According to RASFF data, the presence of this pesticide resulted in 420% above the maximum permitted limit.
Specifically, the permitted limit is 0.01 milligrams per kilogram, while the analyses revealed a concentration of 0.052 milligrams per kilogram.

Both cases were identified during border controls in Croatia and reported to the European RASFF system.
Meanwhile, there is no public clarification from the National Food Authority on what verifications were carried out in Albania for these two cases and whether measures have been taken against the responsible entities.

It also remains unclear what measures were taken regarding the shipment of peppers blocked in Croatia.
These cases raise another important question:

If Albanian products result in substances above the permitted norms during controls at the borders of the European Union, how many guarantees do consumers have for the safety of dried figs and peppers traded on the domestic market? (TCH)
