Artificially lowering the limits by 400 times: The State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection wants to destroy tons of quality citrus for the sake of disposal
#нампишуть, that the scandal at the customs and in laboratory offices demonstrates another cynical method of pressure on food importers. Instead of ensuring food safety and market stabilization, the regulatory authorities are creating artificial obstacles that threaten the destruction of tons of quality products.
A Polish company shipped a batch of fresh oranges to Ukraine weighing a total of 7776 kg. On 25 September 2026, at a terminal in #Городок in the Lviv region, a state inspector took samples for testing. Already on 30 September, the state laboratory DNDILDVSE under the direction of Nataliya Kuryati issued expert opinion No. 023058 and/or 26, which effectively blocked the shipment.
The document states that the oranges allegedly do not meet requirements due to the presence of the pesticide imazalil, so the goods are subject to disposal. The cynicism of the situation is that the laboratory referred to Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 625, where the lawful imazalil limit for oranges is 4 mg/kg. 🤷♂️However, in the conclusion the officials unilaterally specified a level of 0,01 mg/kg, lowering it by as much as 400 times.
In fact, the fruits were found to contain 0,722 mg/kg, which is 5,5 times less than the official lawful limit. That is, by all parameters and current legislation the shipment is fully fit for consumption. ❗️Despite this, the Minister of Economy and reference letters Oleksandr #Кравченко and the leadership of #Держпродспоживслужба of Ukraine in the person of Serhiy #Ткачук turn a blind eye to the obvious mathematical and legal manipulations of subordinates, since such schemes open wide opportunities for illegal extortion from businesses or further redistribution of seized goods.
Instead of stopping the lawlessness and investigating the falsification of conclusions, officials are preparing to destroy quality products against the backdrop of a general shortage and rapid rise in food prices in the country.
✅We are already preparing official inquiries and statements to law enforcement agencies to investigate the actions of the laboratory leadership and the heads of the State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection for potential corrupt abuse. We demand the immediate cancellation of the absurd conclusion, the bringing of the guilty to account, and the prevention of the destruction of nearly 8 tons of fresh fruit that fully meet safety standards.
