Days before Easter, the Food Safety Agency began intensified inspections in stores. Inspectors monitor the quality of lamb, eggs, Easter cakes and all products purchased before the holiday.
Experts are adamant that any product that has too long a shelf life should be taken with suspicion. This was stated by Dr. Tsvetanka Terzieva on BNT.
In the past, it was much more likely that low-quality products would be found in stores and, consequently, in our homes. Today there are very strict control bodies and even if it happens, it is very rare, the BFSA assures.
One of the biggest dangers from time immemorial is the quality of food in terms of additional chemicals contained in food or the so-called E-s. They are emulsifiers, flavors, colors or anything that could extend the life of a product.

These products attract the buyer and give a taste that is pleasant, although the product is not useful and is even harmful in certain cases.
In order to protect the Bulgarian consumer, it is good to stay away from any product that has too long a shelf life. Minimal amounts of preservatives in one product are not harmful. However, when we consume large amounts of these E's, they accumulate in the body and become harmful. If we talk about a slice of Easter cake - there will be no harm, but in the general case, consumption is not limited to such an amount.
