The scandal erupted a month ago with the demonstration by the Polish television channel TVN24 of a report about one of the slaughterhouses of the Masovian Voivodeship. The report was devoted to how salmonella-infected cows are killed at the enterprise, and their meat is sent for sale.
After the broadcast, the Polish authorities closed the slaughterhouse and conducted an investigation. According to the country's chief veterinarian Pavel Nemchuk, according to preliminary data, 2.7 tons of meat from diseased cows were exported from Poland.
About half a ton of infected meat managed to destroy. However, over 150 kg of the hazardous product was sold to customers through butchers in France, and the exact amount of meat trapped in Slovakia has not yet been determined exactly.
In addition, traces of dangerous meat were found in the Czech Republic.
The European Commission had to intervene in what was happening, which officially announced the discovery of salmonella in beef imported from Poland.
Against the backdrop of these events, official Poland promised to tighten the rules applicable at meat processing plants: cameras will be installed to monitor the process around the clock and, in addition, private veterinarians will be excluded from checking meat exported.
