Santo Domingo.- Two studies disclosed by investigative journalist Nuria Piera confirm the Consumer Protection Agency’s report on the poor quality of salami and other sausages.
Analyzes by the labs Agroempresarial and Serrallé contracted by Piera’s TV program show that the protein and nutritional levels of locally made salamis and sausages are below the established by the Standards and Quality Systems Agency (Digenor).
And although they also show a presence of bacteria which can cause skin conditions and gastrointestinal disorders, there was no Salmonella or fecal coliform, which are dangerous bacteria.
Prior to disclosing the studies however Piera noted that the country doesn’t have labs with equipment to confirm the quality of the results, for which she proposed a more thorough investigation using laboratories abroad.
"They will not have the depth and expertise needed because is very difficult to get a lab in the country that could have all the modern and sophisticated equipment needed to see what's a product made of."
The sausages analyzed were the brands Sosua Fud, Induveca, Checo, Don Lindo, Frio Carne, Agrotel, Stefanutti, FirstSelect and Popular del Cerro.

Labs of such quality and standards is urgently needed in DR. A small tax added to food to fund its establishment-INDEPENDENT FROM THE PRODUCERS- could do the trick.

Let's say they have a long hard road ahead of them.
On another note, every time I have been to an All inclusive resort they serve local food, including salami in the buffets. So what are they going to do about that? Millions of tourists eating food that is not tested properly. Empty calories and food with "a presence of bacteria which can cause skin conditions and gastrointestinal disorders,

Again shocking but I agree; except for part about the TAX!
A better distribution of current resources would probably suffice, if we would target spending on national priorities like EDUCATION, Health and Food Safety.
In fact we might even be able to lower some taxes!

Nuria,
You are synomym of responsible and unbiased journalism. We just need more responsible leaders to enforce these findings, follow by more indictments and prosecutions.

Just got back; I noticed that most public offices had limited staff on duty and everybody was talking about “, who will stay, or who is out/living”. In the meantime, they are taking everything they can with them. ..... Ali baba is OFF the chain.
