Horse and Donkey Meat Found in Food Products

The National Food Agency has reported finding horse and donkey meat inside a number of food products throughout the country (Georgia). Samples were taken from public food facilities and stores and the meat was found to be being sold illegally. 

The NFA said the guilty companies have all been fined. 

“We checked 90 samples and found 12 cases of violations. Namely, we found horse and donkey meat in the products labeled as pork or beef”, says the National Food Agency. 

According to the agency, the meat has not only been labelled falsely, but such meat is only allowed to be sold after certain regulations carried out. Most importantly, vaccinations must be administered and proper labelling of meats but be done.
