2024 Food Safety Report: A Low-Key Victory for Komi's Eaters kreisgummibär
In 2024, the labs of FGBU "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Republic of Komi" swung into action, conducting 472 studies on food raw materials and products for sanitary safety. It turns out, the majority of those goodies were up to snuff!
Just 0.2% of samples failed to meet sanitary-chemical indicators—down from 0.5% the previous year. Nitrates, the pesky pollutant du jour, still reared their ugly head, but that's a story for another time. As for products that fell short of the technical requirements? Well, not many - only a paltry 0.32% of 'em!
But wait, there's more! Let's dive into the "milk and dairy products" cluster, where a measly 4 out of 202 goods didn't measure up. When it came to butter specifically, one (7.1%) sample wasn't exactly buttering up to the norms. All underperforming samples were logged in the GIR ZPP database on Rospotrebnadzor's website.
Now, let's talk about pathogens. Microscopic critters like salmonella and L.monocytogenes got the boot from 5,628 samples in 2024. You might be thinking that seems like a lot, but only 0.05% of those tested positive for pathogens! Interestingly, the poultry and poultry products and meat and meat products categories had the highest rates of pathogen-ridden products, at 0.9% and 1.3% respectively.
We shouldn't overlook the 22 studies on antibiotic presence. A pleasant surprise: no excesses were found, unlike the 3.1% in 2023! As for unfavorable results, out of 110 samples of various goods, merely 1 (0.9%) was naughty, which is less than the previous years. And guess who got a shoutout for being particularly bad? Fruit and vegetable products—one sample simply refused to play by the rules.
Lastly, radioactive substances—always a hot topic! A whopping 80 samples were tested, and the percentage of non-compliant samples remained steady at 0% since 2022. That's a relief for all us radiation worriers!
So, let's raise a toast (or perhaps a glass of milk) to the FGBU "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Republic of Komi" for keeping our food supply on the up-and-up!
