Caught Over 2 Tons of Food Without Origin Documents in Pazardzhik Region

The Pazardzhik Regional Directorate for Food Safety has identified more than two tons of food without origin documents during an inspection of an illegal market in the Yundola area, Velingrad municipality. The inspection was carried out jointly with officers from the Ministry of Interior and the National Revenue Agency. During the operation, foods of animal and non-animal origin were found on stalls and booths that were not registered in accordance with the requirements of the Food Law.

The products lack the necessary labeling and origin information, as well as documents certifying their traceability. There is also improper storage of part of the foods, including exposure to direct sunlight. The foods are intended for destruction in the established manner.

Actions have been taken against the traders to draw up acts of administrative violations. The Agency continues to monitor and prevent trade in foods from unregistered facilities and under conditions that do not ensure their safety.
