Chisinau, 5 Sep. /MOLDPRES/- The National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) announced today that as part of the monitoring and supervision Program in the safety and quality control of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic production, wine products and beer, samples of wines bottled in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) were taken, which were cataloged as not meeting the requirements of the normative acts.
To ensure consumers with wine products that comply with the requirements of the normative acts in force, it was decided to withdraw non-compliant lots from the trade and return them to the producer, to be subject to the procedure of destruction or use for other purposes.
According to the institution, all the wines sampled were examined physico-chemically at the Public Institution Central Laboratory for Testing Alcoholic/Non-Alcoholic Beverages and Preserved Products and organoleptically at the Wine Tasting Commission with Protected Geographical Indication. As a result, three batches of non-compliant wines bottled in PET with a capacity of 1.5 l of the brand HAI DAVAI of the producer Orhei-Vin were detected, namely: semi-sweet white wine Sauvignon; Semi-sweet pink wine Isabella; Dry red wine Cabernet.
People who purchased products from the batches are asked to refrain from consuming them and are entitled to return them to the store where they were purchased.
Currently, non-compliant lots are being withdrawn from circulation. However, if non-compliant food products or deviations from the provisions of consumer protection legislation are found, citizens are urged to submit a petition to the Agency at phone number: 0(22) 26 46 43, ANSA said.
