Over a quintal of fish product ready to be served to customers was completely devoid of the documentation necessary to guarantee its traceability and origin. This discovered Vibo coast guard behind the kitchens of an oriental restaurant. The military, active on several fronts in the protection of the consumer and in the protection of fish stocks, could not help but proceed with the administrative seizure of the entire quantity.
A necessary measure, dictated by the urgency to stop the administration of fish of dubious origin, potentially risky for customer health. But the operation did not stop there. On the report of the Coast Guard, the staff of the ASP of Vibo Valentia also intervened.
The technicians of the Healthcare Company, carried out the investigations of competence, found further serious shortcomings: violations relating to the state of conservation of fish and hygienic-sanitary deficiencies in the areas of preparation of foods. The owner of the venue was sanctioned administratively for an amount of 1,500 euros, but the consequences of the intervention go far beyond the fine. The episode turns on the spotlight on a widespread but often invisible problem: the circulation of non -compliant food products and the need for a tight supervision to protect citizens and the environment.
