Tambovsky Bacon called the results of the Roskachestvo inspection questionable

Representatives of Tambovsky Bacon LLC called the results of the Roskachestvo study , which found undeclared carrageenan in the company's MEAT products, questionable. This is stated in the company's information letter (RBC has a copy).

According to the company’s press service, carrageenan is not used in production, and the identified amount does not have a technological effect and does not affect HEALTH .

“The mass fraction of carrageenan detected cannot perform the technological function of a stabilizer in the finished product and cannot lead to negative consequences in the human body,” the company emphasized.

The Ostankino samples were found to contain sulfanilamide, an antimicrobial substance, whose content exceeded permissible levels. Experts noted that such drugs are unacceptable in food products.

Six samples showed an excess of fat peroxide value, which may indicate the beginning of spoilage, probably due to violation of storage conditions. Pieces of cartilage and dense inclusions were also found in a number of samples.
