The BFSA has launched an inspection of fresh fruits and vegetables that enter the country from the Bulgarian-Greek and Bulgarian-Macedonian borders. The Agency believes that with the blockade already lifted, there is a danger that the domestic market will be flooded with spoiled fruits and vegetables from Greece.
Inspectors from the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency will monitor the accompanying import documents, which certify the origin of fruits and vegetables.
It will also be monitored whether the offered fruits and vegetables correspond to the quality described in the invoices.
With this measure, the BFSA hopes to prevent the mass entry of unfit for consumption vegetables in our country.
During surprise inspections in the last 4 days, the Agency scrapped and destroyed 19 tons of spoiled fruits and vegetables, which were supplied to markets, exchanges, marketplaces, retail chains and warehouses for wholesale and retail trade in the cities in the country.
Only a few days ago, the chairman of the Bulgarian Association of Greenhouse Producers Georgi Kamburov warned about the problem of spoiled fruits and vegetables delivered from Greece.
He noted that inspections of Bulgarian markets are necessary to protect the health of Bulgarian consumers.
As an example, fruits and vegetables were pointed out at the market in Parvenets, which arrived spoiled and had to be discarded immediately because they had been standing on the Bulgarian-Greek border for too long.
According to Kamburov, the first goods that arrived immediately after the blockade was lifted are in very poor condition. However, traders in our country do not give up and try to sell it by giving a more pleasant look to the goods.
Kamburov also emphasizes that there are currently no Bulgarian tomatoes on the market, and most of those we buy come from Turkey.
