In the Piana del Sele area, a dairy production and transformation facility was suspended by the local health authority (ASL) after inspectors found severe sanitary issues, including the presence of flying and crawling insects in processing areas and storage cells. Contaminated dairy products were ordered for destruction, with the affected structures valued at approximately 650,000 euros. In Irpinia, a bakery was shut down due to poor hygiene, inadequate facilities, and workplace safety violations, alongside the discovery of undocumented workers. Authorities also seized frozen vegetables, legumes, and bakery products that lacked mandatory traceability labels. Other inspections in Cilento and Valle Metelliana resulted in formal warnings to bakeries to rectify sanitary and structural deficiencies. Recent enforcement actions have expanded to Catania, where a bar-pasticceria had its production laboratory suspended following the discovery of widespread cockroach infestations near food preparation surfaces and equipment. The facility is required to undergo complete sanitization and pest eradication. Total administrative sanctions and fines related to these enforcement actions have exceeded 48,000 euros.
