Privacy Policy
Within the new responsibility to check public catering premises since 2015, which includes also vending machines, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) carried out an inspection in the section of vending machines selling hot drinks.
The most significant violation of legislation was detected in relation to composition of beverages or their labelling on the machines. The operators misleadingly labelled instant hot drinks named as “chocolate” without using relevant raw material. To prepare a drink labelled as chocolate, the legislation provides for that a mixture containing cocoa powder in the amount no lower than 25% shall be used. Out of 47 inspected persons, 34 used mixtures with much lower content than required, the content mostly ranged among 6 and 15 %. Similar detection was found out as regards labelling of mixtures – “milk” or “with milk”. The inspections revealed that the operators used instant supplements with milk proteins or lactose, etc. More than two thirds of inspected persons thus violated legislation as they provided consumers with misleading information, although cocoa powder and milk are elementary and expensive ingredients that shall be contained in this sort of beverages.
The inspectors further verified labelling of allergenic substances, cleanness of the machines, setting of the sanitation system, and use of the food contact materials. Out of the total, 6 operators failed to indicate information on the allergenic substances, and 12 provided this information with deficiencies. The remaining part provided satisfactory information.
CAFIA ordered re-labelling of all insufficient beverages and will initiate an administrative procedure on imposition of a fine with the operators. With regard to the unsatisfactory results, CAFIA will carry on performing these inspections.
