Even a superficial inspection held in one region of the republic shows that the food safety is in a disastrous condition in Armenia.

 

After the research held in the region of Shirak during one week the RA State Food Safety Inspectorate revealed a number of products sold in violation of the requirements of the RA legislation. Particularly it was revealed that in 5 shops the ‘President’ butter (200 g), in 8 shops cream butter ‘Slatko’, in 12 meat dumplings ‘SamRoza’, in 6 G. Grigoryan’s khinkali and meat dumplings, in 25 ‘Frangosul’, in 33 ‘Fazenda’, in 12 ‘Pilgrims’, in 10 ‘Gastar’, in 14 frozen chickens of ‘Golden too’, in 45 ‘Doux’, in 48 frozen chicken ‘Seara’, in 43 frozen chicken chest and chicken ‘Sadia’, in 4 chicken hip of unknown origin, in 14 fish caviar ‘Sanich’, in 7 ‘Sprat’ and ‘Sardine’ pickles of ‘Proliv, Southern Manufacturer’ LLC, in 9 ‘Favorite’, in 8 ‘Darinka’ and in 8 ‘Sardine’ pickles of ‘Vostok’, in 8 ‘Sprat’ pickles of the company ‘Pickles sprat Latvia LLC Zvani’, in 34 Vietnamese pangasius fish did not have Armenian language labeling. In 8 shops ‘Rossini’ cutlets (5 kg package) did not have any labeling at all.

 

Additionally, chicken lungs of ‘Havitsa’ brand were reported without any production date in 26 shops, fish pickles of ‘Eco’ brand with the expiry date closed with the double date in 29 shops. In 22 shops semi-smoked sausage and cutlets of ‘Razmik 92’ of Gyumri were reported without the production and expiry date, in 14 shops Kiev cutlets and meat dumplings of ‘Arsen and Gohar’ LLC with incomplete labeling (only the content and expiry date indicated) and many other violations. In 5 shops frozen chicken chest was reported without the producer’s details. In 28 shops chicken legs of ‘Araqs’ were reported without labeling. In 13 shops meat balls of ‘Tamara Fruit’, in 9 shops chicken poultry of ‘Oshakan’ poultry farm, in 14 broyler chicken of ‘Shirak’ poultry farm and many other products all reported without production date. It’s far not the end of the exhaustive list.  

 

The mass character of violations and the dangerous and threatening situation in the food market are obvious. However the State Food Safety Inspectorate of the RA Ministry of Agriculture fined neither the producers of the above-mentioned products sold in violation of the law nor the shops selling all those products, explaining that mentioned violations were not revealed as a result of inspection, but by other examinations, in which case they have no right to impose a fine.

 

This is the legislation of our country. It’s absolutely interesting, whether the mentioned Inspectorate held inspection in the same shops and among local producers after revealing the violations, and if not, then why, if yes then what was revealed as a result of the inspection and what measures have been taken to fine the law violators.
