The authorities still continue the controls in the case of the milk contaminated with aflatoxin, a carcinogen substance, and Friday were also found the infested products in Gorj county.

The authorities still continue the controls in the case of the milk contaminated with aflatoxin, a carcinogen substance.

After the authorities seized Thursday 13,000 liters of milk from companies whose names were not disclosed. Friday were found infested products with aflatoxin produced in 10 supply units in the county.

Several dozen kilograms of contaminated dairy products were withdrawn from sale in that county, announced the veterinary authorities.

Instead, the company that distributes milk to schools and kindergartens will resume on Monday the Sector 2 distribution, as it was found after analysis that the product was not contaminated.

ANSVSA President, Mihai Ţurcanu, assured in an interview with our editor Florentina Varga that no milk producer will escape the scrutiny.

"I have ordered checks and sampling of all farms in Romania, to all collection centers and to any factory that is veterinary monitored. Since yesterday morning, we went onto the territory, and today already started coming samples to our authorized laboratories.

Hopefully, the first results will appear sometime tomorrow, "said the President of ANSVSA.
Mihai Turcanu also said that there is no data that the contaminated milk would have been turned into cheese.

"We cannot give more information, because we would speak without arguments and we, technically, we cannot afford it," said the President of ANSVSA, Mihai Ţurcanu.
