Ethnic restaurants, almost half of them are irregular


In 48% of the locals, the Nas, during their raids, found expired or thawed and refrozen food, kitchens in poor hygienic conditions, incomprehensible labels

Nearly half: in 48% of ethnic restaurants, the Nas carabinieri found irregularities. The foods had expired, or thawed and refrozen, the hygiene rules ignored, the labels incomprehensible. The worst were restaurants all you can it: 22 activities were closed or suspended, 477 violations of the law were found and 128 tons of food seized.

Wholesalers are also irregular

41% of ethnic food deposits are outside the norm: the Nas seized 128 tons of fish, meat and vegetable products for a value of 232 thousand euros, because they were irregular and unfit for consumption. They were predominantly lacking in traceability and in poor condition of conservation. Abusive warehouses for the storage of products have been identified, kitchens in poor hygienic-sanitary conditions, environments lacking the minimum sanitary, structural and safety requirements for workers. 22 commercial companies have been closed or suspended for a value of 5.3 million euros. In all, 477 criminal and administrative violations were contested and 23 food sector operators were reported and another 281 sanctioned for administrative infringements of 411 thousand euros.

"All you can eat must not rhyme with intoxication"

«Particular attention has been paid to fast food establishments and to those who adopt the formula all you can eat to ascertain that they maintain the essential levels of correct hygiene practice and the supply of suitable raw materials to ensure an acceptable level of safety for the consumer ", explained the general of division of the Carabinieri Adelmo Lusi. «The control plan was implemented with a methodology aimed at verifying strict compliance with food preparation, storage and administration procedures, the hygienic and structural state of the catering premises and retail sales of pre-packaged products, of the cold chain maintenance especially in relation to raw food to be eaten, extending supervision also to the import and distribution channels of foodstuffs and raw materials from foreign countries, managed by wholesale, storage and transport companies ".

Although «everyone likes sushi, comments Health Minister Giulia Grillo, «all you can eat it cannot rhyme with risk of food poisoning: the rules apply to everyone. The health of citizens is not put at risk by illegal practices to keep prices down. "
