Belgian prosecution starts work against company that sent rotten meat to Kosovo

Belgian public broadcaster, French language, RTBF, has reported that even the company “Vanlommel” from Herentals, specialising in beef, has been caught exporting rotten meat to Kosovo.

However, according to the company, this was only “a human error”.

Last August, a 20-tonn amount of meat with signature labels “Vanlommel” has been seized at the Kosovo border. That was after the meat destined for our consumer had expired.

The address to Kosovo for accepting this meat has been the company “Europa IDA”, the same company involved in the “Vevaba” scandal.

The Belgium Antwerp Prosecutor has announced that she has launched an investigation three months ago. In January of this year, for the rotten meat the company “Vanlommel” had exported to Kosovo.

The Food Network Insurance Agency in Belgium (FASFC) has warned the Antwerp Prosecutor's Office in January 2018. Why so late? “Yes Ask questions about that too “, said prosecution spokeswoman Caroline Vanderstocker.

The company “Vanlommel”, in turn, speaks of an involuntarily wrong and rejects any fraud. The manager for sale to this company has argued that the meat that was sent incorrectly to Kosovo, as the same was destined for animal food.

“The investigation will show whether the meat was really sent [to Kosovo, v.j] as a consequence of error”, The prosecutor said.
