The Polish Trade Inspectorate for Quality of Agricultural and Food Products (IJHARS) in Rzeszów has issued a decision to ban the circulation on the Polish market of two batches of biscuit cakes with a total weight of 10.55 thousand tons imported from Ukraine.
As the inspectorate said in a post on social network X on Monday, the decision was made due to incorrect labeling.
The decision was immediately enforced.
As reported, the IJHARS on April 9 in Rzeszów issued a decision to ban the circulation on the Polish market of three batches of baranques with a total weight of 5.34 thousand tons imported from Ukraine.
A few days earlier in Lublin, three batches of ice cream with a total weight of 8.48 tons imported from Ukraine were withdrawn from the Polish market due to defrosting.
In early April, the Polish Trade Inspectorate announced the largest fine in its history of 1.5 million zlotys (about $380 thousand) imposed on an importing company for importing 11.5 thousand tons of technical rapeseed and fodder wheat to the Polish market from Ukraine as counterfeit due to their subsequent use as food. In addition, decisions were taken to prohibit the import of 57.66 tons of tomato paste from Ukraine due to the presence of mold.
IJHARS chief inspector Przemysław Rzodkiewicz said in March that over the past year, 1.4% of batches of products from Ukraine inspected by the commission at the border were rejected.
