Lutenitsa, sold in the domestic food chains, is full of starch, announced the chairman of the organization Active Consumers Bogomil Nikolov to the Bulgarian National Radio.
However, according to an industry standard, the use of starch is allowed and the practice of most of the lutenitsa producers cannot be considered illegal, the expert added.
The aim of the study was to determine whether sunflower oil is replaced by rapeseed oil in the native lyutenitsa and whether it contains pumpkin instead of the usual vegetables. However, these doubts have not been confirmed.
Tomorrow, January 5, Active Users will publish the full list of tested brands. Nikolov says that the analyzes were ready in December, but they postponed their publication so as not to spoil the holidays of Bulgarian consumers.
The content of starch in lutenitsa is not dangerous to health, but its addition spoils the original recipe, which most consumers in our country are looking for.
But even with a clear regulation for an original and imitation product, such as cheese, checks show that the law is often broken and the market is filled with imitation products sold with a label for real cheese.
The reason why the imitation product is more preferred is the price, as fewer and fewer people in our country can afford about 7 leva per kilogram of real cheese.
According to Nikolov, this situation is reminiscent of wartime, when most people were looking for alternatives to real food.
But the sanctions themselves for domestic producers are not big enough to stop them from unfair practices. Bogomil Nikolov shares that in neighboring Romania the fine for an imitation product, presenting itself as genuine, is 50 to 100 times higher than in Bulgaria.
