The food safety inspectorate ordered a Yerevan facility to stop making doughnuts, éclairs, cake, beef-filled pancakes and hot dogs after laboratory tests found unsafe food.
The head of Armenia’s Food Safety Inspection Body ordered Nor Zovq to suspend production of five products at its Yerevan facility after inspectors took samples for laboratory examination. The inspectorate said the results established that unsafe food was being produced, Civic.am said. The order covers the named products, not the company’s entire operation.
The facility, at A. Babajanyan 52, shop 140, produces bread, bakery products, confectionery and partly prepared meat products. The suspended products are doughnuts, éclairs, cake, beef-filled pancakes and hot dogs.
The inspectorate said doughnut, éclair and beef-filled pancake samples failed Customs Union standards on both measures tested: the count of mesophilic aerobic and facultatively anaerobic microorganisms, and the presence of coliform-group bacteria. The cake sample failed on the coliform measure, while the hot dog sample failed on the microorganism count.
The inspectorate instructed Nor Zovq’s management to bring the products into compliance with Customs Union requirements. It said a deadline for correcting the violations had been set, without specifying the date.
PFOA concentrations fell 29% and levels in freshwater fish fell 49%, but the Environment Agency says the chemicals may have diluted and washed into the sea rather than disappeared.
