Portugal – New seizure in olive oil trade
Following the investigation that had taken place several months ago, the Food and Economic Security Authority carried out, in an olive oil packaging unit in the Bragança district, the seizure of about 24 000 liters of a product due to irregularities on labeling and lack of traceability.
63 thousand irregular labels were seized, worth more than 22 000 euros.
During this inspection, operation was also carried out a partial suspension of activity for lack of general and specific hygiene requirements. Samples were taken for further verification of physical-chemical parameters legally established and suspected of the packaged product.
