Kosovo Food Agency says tangerines from Albania are safe for consumption

The Kosovo Food and Veterinary Agency, based on laboratory results, confirms that mandarins imported from Albania are safe for consumption.

Lamir Thaçi from the AUV, affirmed today that "the tested loads meet the legal criteria for food safety, therefore they will be released for market circulation and consumption."

Earlier, several European Union countries returned tons of Albanian tangerines due to high levels of banned pesticides. The AKU in Albania said the shipments were destroyed.

Full reaction:

The Food and Veterinary Agency has today received the results of laboratory analyses of samples suspected of pesticide residues above the maximum residue level (MRL) in mandarin products originating from Albania and others. The results have confirmed that the products from the consignments/contingents in question meet international food safety standards and are safe for consumption. Representative samples were taken from six consignments/contingents of different origins, four of which are from Albania. The values ​​obtained from laboratory tests for the suspected samples, always referring to the limits set by European Union Regulation No. 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in food and feed of plant and animal origin, respectively Regulations/Amendments (EU) No. 2020/1085 on maximum residue levels for Chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl, and amendment/regulation (EU) 2023/1029, on maximum residue levels for phosmet. The laboratory test method is confirmatory (EN 15662:2018). The tested loads meet the legal food safety criteria, therefore they will be released for circulation on the market and consumption.

Feeling the legal responsibility according to the official mandate, we acted immediately after raising doubts about the safety of the Mandarin product, even though the notifications from RASFF were not for products that were sent in any form or other to the Kosovo market. Now with the release of laboratory results, it has been confirmed that the mandarins are safe for consumption. We will continue with controls of import shipments according to the risk assessment, including additional control measures at all inspection stages, including sampling and laboratory testing. Every product that is intended for the market of our country is always inspected to supervise the fulfillment of legal food safety criteria.
