Muja said that during the first week of controls, 118 samples were taken at the border and 52 samples in the local market, while laboratory analyses identified cases of non-compliance.
"Although the products may be presented as containing milk, after analysis they result in a different composition," he said.
According to the minister, a portion of the imported cargo has been temporarily stopped at the border and some of it has been returned due to non-compliance with standards and legislation in force.
He said that the goal of the new measures is to guarantee food safety and increase transparency for consumers.
"The consumer has the right to know what they are buying and what they are eating," said Muja.
The Minister announced that the Government will publish two new decisions for the dairy sector. One foresees a more precise classification of dairy products, while the other establishes a separate production system for products containing powdered milk and palm oil.
According to him, traditional names such as "milk", "cheese", "cottage cheese" or "cream" will only be used for products made from animal fats.
"The moment [other ingredients] are added, these traditional names no longer apply," Muja said.
