Boiled sausage with chicken: experts have identified counterfeit products in the Amur Region

Key facts:

✔ 16th case in 2025 – previously, soy, horse MEAT and chicken were found in meat products that were not declared on the label.
✔ Violation of technical regulations – all components must be indicated so that the consumer knows what they are buying.
✔ The PCR analysis method is a highly accurate test that detects even trace amounts of DNA.

Why do they add chicken and soy?

• Reducing the cost of production – replacing meat with poultry and soy increases profits.

• Decreased quality – mechanically separated meat contains bone particles, collagen and gives an unpleasant taste.

What's next?
The information has been forwarded to  ROSSELKHOZNADZOR  for inspection of the manufacturer and possible seizure of the batch.

Advice to buyers:
Carefully study the composition and choose products from trusted brands. If you doubt the quality, ask the seller for veterinary certificates.
