Μake us preferred on Google A health inspection at a meat trading business in Peristeri uncovered serious violations of food safety laws.
During their checks, the competent authorities of the Attica Region found and seized more than 600 kilos of unfit meat that did not meet the requirements for sale on the market.
A new inspection by the Attica Region at a meat trading business in Peristeri resulted in the seizure of 616.4 kilograms of meat, meat preparations and by-products. The same business had already been fined for violations identified during an inspection a few months earlier. When inspectors from the Directorate of Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Services of the Western Athens Sector returned to the premises, they once again discovered violations. Among their findings were 84 kilograms of frozen pork that had been past its expiry date since May 30, 2025.

Meat Up To 17 Months Past Expiration On Display
Of particular concern is the fact that the products found included meat that was as much as 17 months past its expiration date.
According to the inspection’s findings, these products were not kept only in the business’s storage areas and refrigerators. They had also been placed in the display case, ready for sale to consumers.
The business is a repeat offender. Last April, it was caught committing exactly the same violation: selling expired meat without the required labeling.
Because of the seriousness of the situation and the repeated violations, the authorities arrested those responsible and imposed the applicable fine.
