Only two days after the widely covered in the media action of Minister Naydenov in a supermarket in Sofia and the threats made to the unfair producers and traders of chicken products, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food took a step back.
On January 22, 2013, the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency, together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and a number of media, conducted a demonstration inspection in a Sofia supermarket in order to comply with the requirements of Ordinance 32 / 20.11.2012.
The ordinance in question regulates a maximum permissible water content in chicken meat of 4.3%. The fine for the violating producers starts from BGN 10,000 for the first violation and closure of the site for repeated. For traders who sell chicken meat with a water content above the permissible level, the fines start at BGN 5,000.
"The inspection is the first and is a signal to everyone. "Products with water content should be removed from the stands," the minister said, adding that this lobby is extremely strong, trying to sell water and salt solutions instead of meat, to poke us in our pockets every day and poison us. “.
"I think they had a sufficient grace period," is the opinion of the executive director of the food agency, Yordan Voinov.
The fact is that only two days later, on 24.01.2013 after a meeting with the initiative of retail chains, the "sufficient" grace period for the sale of chicken meat with water was extended by another month - until 20.02.2013..
As a motive, it was pointed out that the products are edible and inadmissible to be destroyed in the conditions of economic crisis.
After this period, the unsold products will be able to be processed, sold in the restaurant network or donated to the food bank or social homes.
