New requirements from the European Union will require changes to the labels of meat products according to the Stara Planina standard, said Svetla Chamova from the Bulgarian Association of Meat Processors.
"These are small details in the content, which, however, need to be corrected," the expert told the Monitor newspaper, adding that the changes to the labels will be discussed next week.
The new food labels are being introduced because of European requirements that require consumers to be more informed about the content of the food they buy.
However, many of our companies face great difficulties with the new labels, although there is only about a month left until the introduction of the ordinance. The industry says it will be difficult to write all the information they require from the EU in the approved font.
That is why during the international exhibition Meatmania this year there will be a special stand, where for the first time experts from the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency will help companies to verify their labels.
The Meatmania exhibition starts on November 5 at the Inter Expo Center-Sofia, where consumers will be able to buy really quality meat products.
Svetla Chamova adds that most of the domestic producers refuse to work with large food chains due to high fees and prefer to sell their products in specialty stores.
Meat producers claim that only in such stores can they buy really quality products prepared according to standard. Such shops appear constantly in the capital.
"We categorically refuse to work with large hypermarkets because they inflate our prices to unsaleability," said Ivan Kostov, operations manager at the Burdenis meat processing plant in Svilengrad.
Kostov said that one of the few attempts to work together failed after the sausage, which the company offers at BGN 20 wholesale, ended up on the shelves of retail chains with a markup of almost 100% and a label of BGN 38 per kilogram.
