The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency is launching a new series of inspections of products that are offered on an all inclusive basis. Dairy products will be monitored with extreme precision.
Inspectors from the Agency will impose hefty fines on all hoteliers who offer cheese, milk and other dairy products with imitation ingredients, without this being indicated on the label.
Dr. Raina Ivanova, who is in charge of controlling the trade network and public catering at the BFSA, told Novinar that any consumer who does not find labels on dairy products must immediately report it to the Agency.
During the summer season, the BFSA inspections ended with over 450 prescriptions, 207 fines and 4 closed sites due to poor hygiene. From the beginning of June to the beginning of September, 22 tons of unfit for consumption were discarded - mainly meat, dairy products and sauces.
The BFSA added that many of the food was spoiled due to the floods this summer.
During the three months of the summer season, 3306 inspections were carried out in our Black Sea resorts.
This year, there has been a serious decrease in the trade in corn, ice cream and pretzels on the beaches, as the tenants themselves have prosecuted the street vendors.
The reason for this is that in case of established illegal sale, the fine is for the concessionaire of the sandy strip - shares Raina Ivanova.
With the upcoming holidays in December, the BFSA is traditionally preparing for mass inspections throughout the country. The campaign will start in the days around St. Nicholas Day, when the fish sold will be monitored.
Around the students' holiday - December 8, the kitchen in our winter resorts Bansko, Borovets, Pamporovo and Dobrinishte will be inspected en masse. The revisions will cover almost all pubs and hotels.
In the days around the biggest holidays in our country - Christmas and New Year, BFSA inspectors will check the food offered to us by traders. At the end of the year, the largest consumption of food products is traditionally registered.

For And Against Vegetable Yellow Cheese And Cheese
In the shops you can regularly see yellow cheese and cheese, on the label of which it is written that they contain vegetable fats or that it is an entirely vegetable product. This means that they are not made by ancient technology - with fat from cow's, sheep's or goat's milk.
We Eat Less And Less Native Cheese And More And More Gouda And Cheddar
The sale of white brined cheese in Bulgaria is much lower compared to the consumption in 2006, shows an analysis of the Institute of Agrarian Economics, quoted by the newspaper Trud. Consumption of yellow cheese in our country has also fallen.
Fake Organic Food And Fake Honey Flood The Market
It has long been clear that there is a vicious practice under the label "Bio-" to stand fake product. Not only do consumers pay a much higher price in the desperate hope of buying a natural product for themselves and their families, they are also deceived by the clever marketing tricks of the market.
BFSA: Fake Cheese Is Now Less Common
The latest study by the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency shows that out of 136 cheese samples, only 7 of them contained vegetable fats that were used illegally. The BFSA's research for the dairy products offered in our country lasted about 6 months, and the 7 non-compliant samples were made by 4 producers.
Merchants Push Their Customers Fake Cheese
Unfair traders push their customers fake cheese. The vicious practice was established during a routine inspection by inspectors from the Regional Directorate of the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency - Plovdiv. The Plovdiv experts of the BFSA found fake cheese with irregular documents and a fake label, which was in the central warehouse of the Kaufland food chain.
