Labeling violation discovered, Tirana Customs blocks 156 thousand food products

A shipment of approximately 156,000 units of packaged food products and toys has been blocked by customs authorities after irregularities were found during checks based on risk analysis.

The control was carried out by the Tirana Customs Branch, in cooperation with the Monitoring Sector at the General Directorate of Customs, where during the physical verification of the goods it was found that the products did not contain the mandatory information on the date of minimum shelf life or the expiration date on the labeling.

According to the authorities, this constitutes a violation of the legal requirements for food labeling and consumer information, set out in the Albanian regulatory framework.

The cargo has been placed on hold and the goods will not be allowed to clear customs or enter the market until the relevant procedures and controls have been completed.
