Large-scale violations revealed in sausage market

The checks conducted by the State Service for Food Safety of the Ministry of Agriculture showed that sausages and other meat products are produced and sold in violation of Armenian laws, the website of Pastinfo news agency says.

In particular, more than 20 shops offered “Hunter’s sausage”, and some other meat products under the brand “Moya Semya”, on which neither production dates nor information in Armenian were printed. 15 shops offered “Krakow sausage” without information in Armenian (manufacturer – “Babik” Meat-Packing Plant), and 24 shops offered products of Good Samaritan Company such as Karkow sausage, hunter’s sausage, small sausages, and frankfurters without any production and expiration dates on them (only the manufacturer was indicated).

Following the checks months ago, the State Service for Food Safety did not fine the companies, which manufactured products in violation of the law, as well as shops selling their foods. This shows how protected the Armenian consumer is. So our consumers have to be cautious and try to make a correct choice as some sausage-producing companies’ violations continue.
