The Polish Agricultural and Food Products Quality Inspectorate (IJHARS) in Rzeszów has issued a decision to ban three batches of bagels with a total weight of 5.34 thousand tons imported from Ukraine from circulation on the Polish market.
According to the inspectorate’s post on Monday on the social network X, the decision was made due to the low fat content and high sugar content of the bagels.
The decision was immediately implemented.
As reported, on April 5, IJHARS in Lublin withdrew three batches of ice cream with a total weight of 8.48 tons imported from Ukraine from the Polish market due to defrosting.
Earlier, 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 feed wheat from Ukraine as counterfeit goods for further use as food. In addition, a decision was made to ban the import of 57.66 tons of tomato paste from Ukraine due to the presence of mold.
In March, IJHARS Chief Inspector Przemysław Rzodkiewicz said that over the past year, 1.4% of the batches of products from Ukraine inspected by the commission at the border were rejected.
