The Food and Economic Security Administration (ASAE) announced today that it has seized 50 kilograms of fresh fish and filed 12 malpractice cases as part of a national review of food retailers.
The ASAE action was aimed at supermarkets, hypermarkets and municipal markets with a fish department “to verify the traceability control of fishery and aquaculture products” and has been carried out in recent weeks.
According to the agency, “commercialization standards regarding classification by quality category, size/weight, commercial name of the species, production method, area of capture, etc. were evaluated.”
During the campaign, 135 economic entities were inspected, as a result of which 12 cases of administrative offenses were initiated, among which the main offenses were “non-compliance with the rules for the sale of fish, lack of metrological control, non-compliance with the requirements for registration / labeling during the sale” .
In addition to 50 kilograms of fresh fish, ASAE seized nine weights, “all worth about 3,656 euros.”
