Kazakhstan disposes off substandard poultry
About 52 tons of substandard poultry were destroyed following
veterinary inspection in Kazakhstan, deputy chairman of the
veterinary control and supervision committee under Kazakh
Agriculture Ministry Serik Sapargaliyev said at a briefing on
Tuesday, Kazakh Prime-minister's web site reported.
"The inspections found that the imported poultry often did not meet
the requirements of the technical regulations, had inconsistent
labels with no or incorrect information in Kazakh language and its
manufacture and expiration date are not indicated," he said.
Meanwhile, according to Sapargaliyev, there is a shortage of
inspectors, lack of accredited laboratories in Kazakhstan. This
causes ineffective implementation of technical regulation functions
by the Technical Regulation Committee.
Under the current regulations of the Customs Union, Kazakhstan
imports poultry from 30 companies of third countries, included in
the appropriate register following the inspection by the veterinary
services of the CU.
