Mass inspections in the middle of last year in the store network of the country made scandalous revelations about the food we consume. We know from experience that rarely tasty things are useful. Almost the same goes for products with beautiful packaging - they are not always quality.

Experts from the Health Inspectorates across the country toured hundreds of shops and supermarkets. It turned out that a common practice of Bulgarian traders is to sell old and even smelly meat. In order to have a proper appearance, the useless product undergoes the so-called refreshing cosmetics. The easiest way to sell stagnant products turned out to be warm windows.

Health inspectors found that local traders also widely use a Polish powder product to mimic freshness. In the industry it is known as dry blood or blood powder.

The product is composed of extremely strong chemicals. When a piece of meat rolls in it, it acquires a fresh look. In many countries of the European Union, dry blood is banned because it misleads customers that they are eating fresh meat.

However, the inspections showed that in Bulgaria the product is widely used in restaurants and fast food chains. By law, meat has a shelf life of one week if stored at a maximum temperature of 7 degrees. However, it turns out that no one in Bulgaria complies with this norm.

A report shows that our country ranks first in the import of dry blood in Europe. After an in-depth market research, it turns out that the Polish product is a mass ingredient in domestic sausages. 80% of our sausages are 30% dry blood and 30% fat powder. The rest is water and many E's for color and aroma.

What exactly is dry blood? Analysis of the product showed that it was a waste product from slaughterhouses. It is packaged and buried in special septic tanks.

However, the owners of slaughterhouses in Europe have decided instead to set aside costs for storage of the waste product, to export it to Bulgaria and to calculate additional profit.

Health experts warn that there is a real health risk from consuming such a product, and the advice to consumers is to eat as little processed things as possible.
