Food and Veterinary Agency Investigates Claims of Misleading Dairy Declarations
The Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) is examining allegations of inaccurate reporting regarding the composition of dairy producer declarations within the Macedonian dairy industry. The investigation, prompted by concerns raised about market practices, centers on potential discrepancies between declared milk production and actual output. According to information released yesterday, the FVA conducted a comprehensive analysis on World Dairy Day, June 1st, examining 45 samples of milk and dairy products from various producers.
This assessment identified ten companies that require further scrutiny. The agency’s focus is on ensuring transparency and accuracy within the dairy sector. It’s understood that the goal of the investigation isn’t to target specific producers or exporters, but rather to equip dairy packers with reliable information.
Without access to accurate data, packers are unable to make informed purchasing decisions regarding dairy. The FVA’s actions aim to address potential issues related to the labeling and reporting of milk production, safeguarding both producers and the integrity of the dairy market. Further details regarding the specific findings and the ongoing investigation will be released as they become available.
