Inspectors from the Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) at the Blace border crossing intercepted and halted the export of two consignments of UHT milk, totaling 27,520 kilograms. The seizure occurred after laboratory testing detected levels of aflatoxin that exceeded the maximum concentrations permitted by established legal provisions. According to the FVA, the unsafe milk, which was slated for sale in the domestic market, was found to have been stored at the Drisla depots without the required supervision of an official veterinarian.
Consequently, the entire consignment was ordered and subsequently destroyed at the Drisla facility. The testing process for both batches of unsafe UHT milk was conducted under the FVA’s established Monitoring program. This program is mandatory for inspecting and testing consignments of food originating from animals that are transported across the land border.
The agency emphasized that these measures are in place to ensure public safety and compliance with food standards. The action underscores the regulatory commitment to preventing contaminated products from reaching consumers.
