SATM referred to the turmoil created in the GUM market today.
"As part of the periodic control operations carried out by the RA Food Safety Inspection Authority, regular monitoring was conducted today at the meat market on Khorenatsi Street.
As a result, a number of significant violations were discovered. Meat outlets have stopped working and closed, and suppliers have been unable to document the slaughterhouse origin of their meat.
The legislation stipulates that meat of non-slaughterhouse origin is subject to confiscation and destruction. About a ton of meat was seized and destroyed today.
It is important to note that the Inspection Body regularly carried out awareness activities on all possible platforms about the seizure and destruction of meat of non-slaughterhouse origin. with established procedures.
Moreover, a similar control event was conducted at the meat sales points operating on Khorenatsi street quite recently, in September-October, during which meat of non-slaughterhouse origin was also seized, again informing business owners about the current regulations.
The actions of the inspection body, of course, are aimed exclusively at protecting the health of the population, to prevent untested, unknown origin, dangerous food from appearing on people's tables.
Once again, we urge the businessmen engaged in the sale of meat to sell exclusively meat of slaughterhouse origin.
