From next year, new labels will be placed on the bread, the font of which will be larger and will carry more information about the quality and shape of the product.
The news was announced by the chairwoman of the Regional Union of Bakers and Confectioners in Veliko Tarnovo - Jeni Sapundjieva.
The chairwoman also announced that they suffer from a lack of staff and investments in the bakery production.
"Some time ago, the Austrians told us to introduce production lines because we will not be dependent on workers, because machines do not get sick, but the investment is too high. So we wander between the two factors - labor and investment, these are the two big problems of the sector. "- explained Sapundzhieva.
Next week, the Food Safety Agency will organize a training seminar in Veliko Tarnovo, at which the new requirements in bread production will become clear.
Sapundzhieva added that the requests for raising bread from the producers will not come true and the price of subsistence will not change.
Last week, local bakers demanded that the price of bread jump as rains this spring damaged the quality of the crop.
"We will find out whether there is a problem with the quality of the grain only in September, when everything is harvested. Then tests will be made for the baking qualities of the wheat from the new harvest," said the chairwoman of the Regional Union of Bakers and Confectioners in Veliko Tarnovo.
According to her, the price of bread in our country is really too low compared to the prices of other EU member states, but it is determined according to the average monthly income of Bulgarians.
Sapundzhieva was also supported by the chairwoman of the National Branch Union of Bakers and Confectioners, Mariana Kukusheva, who said the request to raise the price of bread was speculation.
According to Kukusheva, the condition of the wheat will be good this year as well, despite the heavy rains, and the European Commission expects the harvest for 2014 to be 4.8 million tons.
