The meat is not suitable for consumption. At the Polish border with Ukraine 32 lorries were stopped. A total of 1,400 tons of meat were seized, bearing false Belgian quality control certificates. The case came to the attention of the authorities some time ago when the Ukrainian authorities intercepted a transport of chicken. The meat bore Belgian quality control certificates. The customs officials suspected fraud and alerted the authorities in Belgium as well. Detectives from the Belgian Department of Justice and the Food Agency went to Ukraine to investigate. Four companies in West Europe, one from Belgium, have come under suspicion. The Belgian company denies any involvement in the swindle. The chicken meat was not suitable for human consumption. The authorities think it might be meat that was frozen during the dioxin crisis in Belgium (end of the 1990s). The meat was allegedly to be processed in Ukraine into hamburger meat, sausages and pita meat and then brought back on to the European market. The contaminated meat has already been worked into animal fodder. In Ukraine the authorities are trying to track down the ring leader of the swindle. The man has allegedly fled from the authorities. |
