Quality test shows double food standards on EU markets, says Hungarian ministry
Change language:
Discrepancies have been revealed in about a third of 39 identically labelled food products sold in Hungary and in western Europe in the latest quality tests ordered by Farm Minister Sándor Fazekas, the ministry said on Tuesday.
The discrepancies characterising products generally consumed in the summer “confirm the existence of double quality standards within the European Union”, the ministry said.
The National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) tested 23 packaged products used for barbecues, eight alcoholic drinks and fresh drinks and eight types of vegetable and fruit over the past two months. The list of ingredients shown on the packaging differed in the case of four food products and two alcoholic drinks, and sensory tests showed differences in the case of five packaged products despite identical ingredients shown on the packaging, the ministry said. All vegetables and fruit surveyed met the current quality requirements but significant differences were reported in the case of champignon sold in Hungary and in western Europe, it added.
Substandard bullshit foods, the same as always. The only foods which are excetional in Hungary are raw meats, fish, basic pastries and baked goods and vine ripened fruits and vegetables. Since 89′ prepackaged foods, in general have ALWAYS been a far lower grade than in the west. FULL OF SUGAR, COLOR ADDITIVES AND ALL CHEMICALS allowed by the EU. Most vegetables now come from Greece, picked when hard and green. This story doesn’t surprise me in the least. To the giant multi’s of the world, Hungary is the place where they concoct recepies to get rid of whatever excess fats and sugar commodities they have horded from all parts of the world.
