Dangerous bacteria found in processed meat products in Primorye

Primorsky food safety experts discovered coli bacteria in three batches of locally produced frozen semi-finished MEAT products (dumplings,cutlets , "hedgehogs").

Verification details:

✔ When:  research completed on July 2, 2025
✔ Who tested: Primorsky branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "NCBRSP" (subordinate to ROSSELKHOZNADZOR)
✔ What was tested:

• The presence of dangerous bacteria (salmonella, listeria, E. coli)

• General level of microbial contamination

• Presence of mold

Results:

? All samples tested were found to contain coliform bacteria
. ? The product  was not released for sale; the testing was conducted as part of production control.

Why is this dangerous?

Although E. coli is not considered a highly pathogenic microorganism, its presence:
➠ Indicates violations of sanitary standards in production
➠ May indicate problems with the storage of raw materials or finished products
➠ Makes the product prohibited for sale, even after heat treatment

What has been done:

✅ The manufacturer disposed of the hazardous product
✅ The data was entered into the Vesta system
✅ The information was sent to  Rosselkhoznadzor  and other regulatory authorities

Advice to manufacturers:

Experts recommend:
Strengthening incoming raw material inspections
Strictly adhering to sanitary standards at all stages of production
Implementing a HACCP system to identify and eliminate risks

"Such inspections help us identify and resolve problems before products reach the shelves," notes the Primorsky branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "NCBRSP."
