Pazardzhik Region Strengthens Control Over Food Trade in Markets

A new preventive initiative will increase control and safety in the trade of food products in Pazardzhik region. The campaign carries the slogan “Safe Food – Lawful Trade” and aims to curb informal practices and protect consumers’ health.

A working meeting was held for the initiative with the participation of the regional governor Borislav Bogoslovov, the deputy regional governor Gergana Bozhkova, the director of the Regional Directorate for Food Safety – Pazardzhik Nadezhda Hristoskovа-Dincheva, mayors, experts and representatives of the municipalities.

Before local authorities, the main requirements for the registration of facilities for production, processing and trade in food, as well as activities related to animals, feeds and plant protection products, were presented. An information brochure for farmers has also been prepared, outlining the necessary steps—from farm registration to the lawful conduct of activities.

The initiative is expected to lead to better awareness, strengthened prevention, and closer cooperation between the municipalities and control authorities, while at the same time supporting legitimate local producers.
