The Central Market Supervision Inspectorate has initiated a regulatory action to recall products from the market that have been identified as containing vegetable-origin fats, including palm and coconut oil. This measure was announced by the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, Trade, and Innovation (MINTI), following a directive issued by the Food and Veterinary Agency. The Food and Veterinary Agency issued an order requiring nine specific companies to immediately withdraw their products labeled with vegetable-origin fats from retail sale.
In response to this directive, the Inspectorate commenced inspections this afternoon across designated Category B and Category C market locations. The primary objective of these inspections is to locate and remove non-compliant products from display and sale points throughout the retail environment. The scope of the removal action specifically targets items manufactured by companies including “Drena” SHPK, “Bylmeti KS” SHPK, and “Koral Dayri.” These products contain formulations that utilize various vegetable oil sources.
The regulatory action underscores ongoing efforts to maintain consumer safety and transparency within the food supply chain. By inspecting and removing these specific items, authorities aim to ensure that products sold in the market comply with established standards regarding the sourcing and labeling of fats, particularly those derived from vegetable oil. The enforcement action is designed to safeguard public health by controlling the presence of regulated ingredients in consumer goods.
