Food alarms in Albania/ From salmonella to lack of control, a chain of problems that endangers the consumer
Another food safety alert has come from the European rapid alert system RASFF, which has identified the presence of salmonella in a product imported into Albania: Nudossi Haselnuss-Nougat-Crème (300 g), brought from Germany by the company "Lengo Group".
According to the National Food Authority (NFA), 18.3 kg of this product were imported, of which 8.7 kg were sold to the end consumer.

The remainder has been blocked and will be destroyed, while citizens are urged to return the product to the points of purchase.
This case brings to light a recurring problem: dangerous products often reach the consumer before authorities intervene.
On-site inspections: blockades and fines, but after violations
In recent times, the NFA has reported several interventions in food entities:
In Shkodra, 7,196 kg of white cow's cheese were seized at the "Nail Idrizi" entity for serious hygiene and sanitation violations. The activity was suspended and fines totaling 400 thousand lek were imposed.

In Tirana, following a complaint, around 4 tons of unlabeled herbal products were seized in a warehouse in Shkoza. The lack of basic information on their origin and composition raised serious doubts about their safety.

In a meat processing company (KMY), inadequate hygienic conditions and thawing of products contrary to standards were found. 738 kg of chicken fillets and breasts were seized, while investigations continue.

The National Food Authority in Shkodër has blocked a truck with 25 tons of corn coming from Serbia. The load was stopped at the Hani i Hoti customs, as it was entering Albanian territory from Montenegro.
According to official sources, during laboratory tests, the presence of aflatoxin B1 was found at levels above the permitted norms for Albania.
The blocked quantity, which was destined for the city of Elbasan and categorized as livestock corn, was immediately stopped by the Shkodra AKU to avoid any potential risk to animal and consumer health.

These cases show that interventions occur mainly after violations have occurred, raising questions about the effectiveness of preventive controls.
Salmonella meat scandal: a dangerous precedent
The most serious case remains that of March 2025, when large quantities of chicken fillets contaminated with salmonella from Brazil were released into the Albanian market.
According to the data:
At least 7.9 tons of chicken fillets with salmonella from Brazil
Në tregun shqiptar është hedhur mish pule i kontaminuar me salmonelë në një sasi të konsiderueshme nga kompania Dimal, ndërsa konsumatori u njoftua publikisht nga Autoriteti Kombëtar i Ushqimit, 1 javë pasi kishte marrë në dorë analizat me prani salmonele, dhe filetot e rrezikshmë për shëndetin ishin shpërndarë për konsum nëpër markete.

AKU njoftoi se referoi për hetim në Prokurorinë e Tiranës një kompani, por duke i mbajtur të fshehtë emrin, që importoi nga Brazili mish të kontaminuar me salmonelë, bakter i rrezikshëm për shëndetin e konsumatorëve
Por si u zbulua mishi me salmonelë?
Burime nga AKU thonë se inspektorët bënë një kontroll rutinë në sasinë e filetove të importuara nga Brazili, morën një mostër nga mishi dhe e dërguan për analizë pranë laboratorit të ISUV më 12 mars. Njëkohësisht – burime nga AKU thonë se urdhëruan subjektin AMG që deri në daljen e përgjigjes së analizave, produktin ta mbyllë në dhomat frigoriferike në port dhe të mos e hedh në treg.
Burimet thonë se ISUV nxori përgjigjen pas 9 ditësh pasi i ishte dërguar mostra, më datë 21 mars, por kur AKU shkoi pranë kompanisë të bllokojë mishin në port, rezultoi se pjesa më e madhe ishte hedhur në treg. Nga ky moment, kur kuptoi se shqiptarët do blinin me para një produkt të rrezikshëm, AKU nuk bëri asnjë njoftim për qytetarët që të mos i konsumonin filetot e pulës të DIMAL, dhe as nuk bëri thirrje pranë bizneseve që të kthejnë pas mishin e kontaminuar.
1 javë pas doli përgjigja se ishin fileto të kontaminuara, AKU njoftoi vetëm se ka referuar në prokurori një subjekt për mosrespektim të kritereve të gjurmueshmërisë dhe dhënie të informacionit të pasaktë. Burime nga AKU thonë se kompania DIMAL ka falsifikuar faturat tatimore, duke regjistruar të dhëna të pasakta, pasi sasi të tjera importonte nga jashtë e të tjera deklaronte.
Çfarë është salmonela dhe sa e rrezikshme është
Salmonela është një bakter që infekton zorrët dhe përhapet kryesisht përmes ushqimit ose ujit të kontaminuar.
Simptomat përfshijnë:
diarre,
dhimbje barku,
të vjella dhe temperaturë.
Ato shfaqen zakonisht 12–72 orë pas infektimit dhe zgjasin disa ditë. Në shumicën e rasteve kalojnë pa trajtim, por për personat me imunitet të dobët mund të jenë të rrezikshme dhe kërkojnë hospitalizim.

Tre elementë dalin në pah: reagimi i vonuar, pasi produktet e rrezikshme shpesh identifikohen vetëm pasi kanë hyrë në treg; mungesa e transparencës, ku në disa raste subjektet përgjegjëse nuk bëhen menjëherë publike; si dhe dobësitë në gjurmueshmëri, që lidhen me mungesën e etiketimit dhe dokumentacionit të plotë për ndjekjen e zinxhirit të furnizimit. Edhe pse AKU deklaron intensifikim të kontrolleve, fakti që shumë shkelje zbulohen pas denoncimeve apo rasteve të rënda tregon se sistemi vijon të funksionojë më shumë si reaktiv sesa parandalues.
Përfundim: konsumatori mbetet hallka më e pambrojtur
In a market where food scandals are becoming frequent, the Albanian consumer remains exposed to risks that he often cannot control himself.
Trust in food safety is not built only with fines and blockades after the fact, but with a system that guarantees real control at every link from import, to processing and to the supermarket shelf. / N.Fero/Politiko.al/
