"The decision was made after veterinary inspectors made sure
after repeated testing that the company had completed all of the disinfection
work and implemented all measures envisaged in the fault elimination
plan," told Mantas Staskevicius,
acting head of the Veterinary Division at the VMVT.
In his words, the company has been notified of
the sanction to resume production, with plans to check its operations on a more
frequent basis from now on.
Initial veterinary checks of the Judex
premises in mid-August revealed presence of enterobacteriaceae, which indicate
lack of cleanliness in the production process. After testing 230 samples of
Judex products, the service confirmed salmonella in Liuks dumplings, saying
that E. coli content in six of the samples of Judex products it had tested
exceeded the permissible levels. Documents submitted to the food safety
watchdog by the Special Investigation Service showed that another type of
bacteria, listeria, had been found in Judex's Russkiye dumplings, which are
produced for the Russian market.
Judex exports to Latvia, Estonia, England,
Ireland, Germany, Spain, Russia and Belarus.
