The Food and Veterinary Agency of the Republic of Kosovo (FVA), referring to a notification from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), announced that during an inspection of a shipment of MDM chicken product, imported from Romania to Prizren, the presence of the bacterium Salmonella spp. was detected.

According to the announcement, inspections confirmed the existence of Salmonella in a quantity of 27.7 kilograms of chicken meat, as reported by ​KosovaPress.

“Immediately after the detection of this case, the imported quantity from the lot that tested positive was destroyed in accordance with legal procedures and food safety standards,” the statement reads.
