Nearly 50 tons of meat were seized during an operation by the Interior Ministry and the National Revenue Agency. The two-day action was held on December 14th and 15th, when 43 sites in the country were inspected.
The inspections were carried out in connection with intra-Community acquisitions, imports, storage of chilled and frozen foodstuffs of animal origin and related documents and documents required by law.
During the inspections it was established that meat is sold in Bulgaria without the necessary documents for origin and with expired expiration date.
