24 Tons of Fruit Seized in Algarve Transport Operation

Major Seizure by ASAE in Algarve

In a significant operation, ASAE (Autoridade de Segurança Alimentar e Económica) has seized 24 tons of fruit during a transport inspection in the Algarve region. This action underscores the agency's commitment to ensuring food safety and compliance with regulations in the market.

The operation was part of a larger effort to monitor and control food distribution practices across the country, especially in tourist-heavy areas like the Algarve. The seized fruits were reportedly in transit without proper documentation, raising concerns about their origin and quality.

This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in maintaining food safety standards and protecting consumers from potentially hazardous products. ASAE continues to carry out inspections to uphold these standards and prevent illegal trade practices.
