With the capacity of this institution, however, it has eliminated over 117 tons of animal products this year alone, reports KTV.
This agency's spokesman, Lumir Thaqi, says inspectors do continuous checks, but most often when irregularities are announced by citizens themselves.
While most of the municipalities are passive in this direction, the Scytheright one, on Thursday, in a large market, has encountered meat products that have not mastered the origin documentation.
The inspector of this municipality has immediately confiscated the amount of this product and eliminated it.
The mayor of the municipality, Bekim Jashari, has said that they are struggling with what they have capacity to protect the citizens of the municipality, adding that this market, within these two months, has been fined twice of 500 euros.
As long as last week, AUV, in a meat processing plant, has eliminated 3,450kg of meat, which was to be stored in sub -18C temperature, while the room where meat was found has been in an environment temperature, so inspectors have concluded that this amount of meat does not meet the conditions for consumption.
Also seized at the slaughterhouse farm, seven items have been confiscated, as owners have not had documentation.
