Check the popular brands of ground beef made by the specialists of Roskontrol, showed according to the experts disappointing results. The lion’s share of meat sold in the Russian stores can be dangerous, so you should be extremely careful when choosing a product, stated the representatives of the Department.
Summing up the results of the inspection, the experts said that only two names of it held samples of meat has received the quality mark of the Roskontrol, while the remaining cannot be recommended for use. Just to the laboratory for examination were sent to eleven samples of ground beef. Part of this meat was bought in bulk in supermarkets “Myasnov”, Selgros, Lenta, Perekrestok, Spar, “Carousel”, “okay”. Part of the samples consisted of ready-made packaging, it was brand “Ramfud”, “Samson”, “Miratorg”, “Ostankino”.
“The tests showed that the only brand of “agribusiness” and “Samson” can be recommended for purchase. “Myasnov” and “Ramfud” entered in the list of goods with remarks,” – said the researchers about the brands of meat, which have stood the test.
The remaining samples were criticized. In many samples, as it turned out, there are fermenting bacteria, E. coli and other bacteria dangerous to the human body. High infestation of bacteria observed specimens from Selgros, “Lenta”, “Perekrestok”, Spar, “Carousel”, “okay”.
In addition, in most of the samples the experts had detected pig DNA. At the same time, experts admit that traces of pork in beef meat could be due to the fact that the equipment was poorly cleaned after processing of pork meat.
It also appeared that the producers may not indicate the fat content. For example, the manufacturer of meat “Ramfud” referred to the number of 12.9% in his product, while the actual fat content was 21.3%. The fat was minced, the company “Miratorg” – 25,7%, but honestly its packaging means that this beef is half-finished category B.
The results of all the tests “Ostankino”, “Lenta”, “Perekrestok”, Spar, “Carousel”, “okay” and Selgros were included in the black list of Roskontrol for violation of safety requirements.
