Poland food quality and transport inspections
Overview
Following a nationwide inspection by the Agricultural and Food Quality Inspection (IJHARS) that identified irregularities in various grain products, Polish authorities have expanded their oversight. The initial inspection of 88 entities revealed that 30.7% of producers, wholesalers, importers, and retailers engaged in non-compliant practices. Specific issues included the presence of pests, incorrect physicochemical parameters, and frequent labeling errors regarding allergens and marketing claims.
In response to broader quality concerns, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has initiated joint nationwide inspections targeting food transport. This collaborative operation involves IJHARS, the Road Transport Inspection (ITD), and the Police, with a specific focus on fruits and vegetables. These efforts aim to monitor temperature control and the cold chain, verify product origins, and ensure transport conditions meet safety standards to prevent irregularities from reaching retail shelves.
