During a recent press conference, the acting Minister of Agriculture, Armend Muja, addressed concerns regarding the presence of palm oil in milk products. When questioned about whether undeclared palm oil was found in “Vita” milk, Muja stated that as a minister, his purview does not extend to specific brand names. However, Muja did acknowledge the findings of an AUV report.
He indicated that analyses of four different milk samples revealed that palm oil was found in those samples. He clarified that this detection was not limited to a single brand, but rather reflected findings across multiple tested samples. During the press briefing, Muja presented several milk products from the “Abrazen” company, which served as examples where the presence of palm oil had been detected.
Regarding the “Vita” milk specifically, Muja did not confirm the presence or absence of the oil, nor did he offer a direct verbal confirmation on the matter. The Minister stressed that the AUV and the Ministry of Agriculture are responsible for approving production processes and subjects. He reiterated that the documented instances where palm oil was found were based on official analyses, emphasizing that regulatory bodies oversee the standards to ensure compliance within the industry.
