In the Rostov region, the court found the organization guilty for the repeated detection of antibiotics in manufactured products

In the course of inspections, officials of the department established gross violations of veterinary legislation. Repeatedly during the year, laboratory tests in products revealed the presence of antibiotics, which is considered unacceptable, as well as the presence of by-products and animal DNA, which are not declared by the manufacturer as part of the product. In addition, according to the FSIS "Mercury", it was revealed that in the production of products, raw materials were used, the origin of which was not confirmed by veterinary accompanying documents, and therefore it is impossible to confirm the safety of raw materials and, accordingly, the traceability of the products produced.

The above facts indicate a violation of the requirements of Federal Law No. 29-FZ "On the Quality and Safety of Food Products", technical regulations "On Food Safety" and "On the Safety of MEAT and Meat Products".

Based on the results of the initial audit, an administrative offense case was initiated against the enterprise under Part 2 of Art. 14.43 of the CRF on AP (actions that resulted in the creation of a threat of harm to the life or HEALTH of citizens). The materials of the case were sent to the Arbitration COURT of the Rostov Region for consideration.
By a court decision in connection with the creation of a threat of harm to the life or health of citizens, the enterprise was found guilty of an offense under Part 2 of Art. 14.43 CRF about the AP.

However, laboratory tests again revealed antibiotics in products, the presence of which is unacceptable. Based on this fact, the Office of the ROSSELKHOZNADZOR agreed with the prosecution authorities on a repeated field inspection in relation to the meat processing enterprise, as a result of which an administrative offense case was initiated under Part 3 of Art. 14.43 of the CRF on AP (repeated commission of an administrative offense that entailed the creation of a threat of harm to the life or health of citizens). The case materials were sent to the Arbitration Court of the Rostov Region for consideration and decision.
