- Spices for pork with garlic and smoke – 29 g
The National Veterinary Sanitary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA) recommends that you do not consume these products under any circumstances. The products can be returned to the supermarket where they were purchased, and customers will receive the full value, without the need for a tax receipt.
Contact with metal and rubber particles can cause damage to the mouth, gums or esophagus, irritation of the digestive tract, and even chemical contamination with heavy metals. Authorities are calling on consumers to check products at home and follow safety recommendations.
