On Tuesday, 9 December, the Czech Confederation of Commerce and Tourism arranged a meeting attended by representatives of retail chains and supervisory bodies. The meeting was also attended by the management of the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority which checks food safety and quality in retail chains. On this occasion, Director General Jakub Šebesta informed the attenders of a new initiative of CAFIA which aim is to ensure better awareness of consumers. The Inspection Authority decided to release periodically a chart of retail chains. This chart will be drafted according to results of CAFIA inspections.

In these days CAFIA completed methodology for assessment a started with collecting data for compilation of the first chart. This chart will be published in one year so that the data have relevant value. “Chains like Makro, Globus or Ahold that need not be afraid of such assessment, at least according to current results, for other chains our chart could serve as motivation component as well“, Jakub Šebesta added to the issue. “It is only first step, in future would like to make a public assessment of all retails under our supervision. Similar attempts have already appeared in several European countries“.
