Extending the shelf life of products is the most common violation in the FSIS “Mercury”, identified by Rosselkhoznadzor in the Yaroslavl region

When monitoring the registration of eVSD in the FSIS "Mercury" in August 2023, 29 violations were identified. Among those who committed violations were 25 authorized persons of business entities and 4 state veterinarians of the veterinary service of the Yaroslavl region.

Thus, a veterinarian preparing veterinary accompanying documents at the AgriVolga LLC enterprise completed “processing/production” production transactions, according to which similar products were produced from raw materials “Light beef stock” with an expiration date of August 16, 2023, but already with a shelf life of until February 11, 2024, and from the raw materials “Beef Heart” and “Beef Liver” with a shelf life of August 20, 2023, similar products with a shelf life of February 11, 2024 were produced.

Thus, the enterprise illegally released into circulation products that do not meet the requirements of veterinary and sanitary rules and regulations; the extension of the shelf life violates the requirements of the technical regulation of the Customs Union “On the safety of food products” TR CU 021/2011.

Based on the results of identified violations, the territorial department of ROSSELKHOZNADZOR sent a warning to business entities about the inadmissibility of violating the mandatory requirements of veterinary legislation.
