The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) continues to detect meat and milk products made by foreign producers and significantly violating legislation. Laboratory analyses repeatedly detect parameters proving adulteration of foodstuffs even after uncertainty in measurement is taken into consideration. Missing valuable ingredient of the product, for example lower proportion of meat than stated on the labelling or lower proportion of milk dry matter in milk product is a typical violation – this  situation concerns in particular of cheeses, which significantly modifies its features. CAFIA currently detected following products:

Dulano drůběží párky (poultry sausages), with best before date by 15. 1. 2018, lot 15. 01. 2018, producer Böklunder, Gewerbestrasse 1, D-24860 Böklund, Germany. The producer indicated on the labelling that the product contained meat amounting to 70%, however, laboratory analysis detected 60.3% of meat only. The product was sold by Lidl Česká republika v.o.s.

Bresse Bleu, packaged à 150g, with use by date by 24. 04. 16, lot 24 04 16 041, importer IMCO, s.r.o., Prague, country of origin: France. Laboratory analysis proved content of dry matter amounting to 47.8% compared to 53% stated on the labelling. The analysis thus showed misleading of consumers consisting in indicating untrue information on the labelling. Cheese was sold by Globus ČR, k.s.

Kniewska 6, 70-825 Szczecin, Poland.  The producer thus misled consumers by indicating untrue information on the labelling that the product contained 89% of meat whereas laboratory analysis found 79.2% of meat only. The foodstuffs were sampled in Lidl Česká republika v.o.s.

BILLA EASY! MEAT BALLS FRIED - Masové kuličky smažené, with use by date by 11. 06. 16., lot L:16138332, producer: Blasko-Convenience-Fertiggerichte GmbH, Leobnerstrasse 78, A-8600 Bruck/Mur, Austria. Laboratory analysis proved lower content of meat than stated on the labelling -  72.5% in comparison to 87 %, which could be regarded as significant adulteration of the most valuable ingredient. The lot in question was sampled in BILLA, spol. s r. o.

CAFIA will initiate an administrative procedure on imposition of a fine with the inspected persons. With regard to the existing results, CAFIA will continue with inspections of this problematic assortment with the same intensity.
