Former Director of the AUV for Inspection, Valdet Gjinovci, addressed issues concerning the testing and reporting of VITA milk during a presentation at the Euro T7 event. According to statements reported by Gazeta Express, Gjinovci provided specific guidelines regarding the turnaround time for quality control assessments. Gjinovci emphasized that the official results for milk testing cannot be delayed beyond a 72-hour period, with an exception noted only for samples requiring shipment outside the country.
Furthermore, he clarified the procedural aspects of sample collection, indicating that testing samples are permissible to be taken directly at points of sale, contrasting this with the typical collection point at the farm level. The former director stressed the necessity for establishing a cooperative dialogue between the agricultural industry stakeholders and the relevant enforcement institutions. He also made a clear demarcation regarding jurisdictional roles, asserting that the competent authority and enforcement bodies do not function in the capacity of a judicial body.
The core message revolves around transparency and adherence to strict timelines for quality assurance testing to maintain consumer trust and regulatory compliance within the dairy sector.
