The Brčko District Inspectorate controlled the drink “Prime” and during the controls no products containing caffeine or L-theanine were found, the presence of which is not allowed in soft drinks, confirmed the Chief Inspector of the Brčko District Inspectorate, Zoran Gajić.
“We continue with this control of ‘Prime’ products with energy additives, which are prohibited in the European Union, and they must be properly declared,” said Gajić.
During food control, inspectors found confectionery products on the Brčko District market this year that were properly declared, but changed their properties in terms of application, which is why they were withdrawn from circulation and returned to the supplier. Their total value was about 40 thousand marks.
According to the plan, the Brčko District Inspectorate performs about 20 inspections of food and items used for food production per month.
In those controls, the most common irregularities found concern employees who are in contact with food, and who did not have a sanitary inspection.
Gajić said that the inspectors ordered certain measures, and three misdemeanor orders were issued to entities that did not carry out the ordered measures.
