Moldy corn was put on the market, blocked by the AKU/ The entity is fined,

The National Food Authority has announced that it has seized and filed a criminal complaint against a commercial entity in Shkodra.

According to the AKU, the subject had intentionally removed the sealing tapes and moved the quantity of sealed corn.

The NFA has also initiated disciplinary proceedings against inspectors in Shkodra on charges of abuse of office.

 

NFA announcement

 

The National Food Authority, in the context of public information and transparency, clarifies the public opinion that, after ascertaining the presence of aflatoxin in a quantity of livestock corn in the Shkodra district, all legal measures were immediately taken to block the product, while the latest field controls carried out in March 2026 have revealed serious violations by the business operator.

This entity has acted in open violation of the law by intentionally destroying safety signs (locking strips) and moving the unsafe quantity without any traceability documentation, actions for which the AKU has reacted with full determination by imposing four administrative measures "Fines" and by filing a criminal report with the justice authorities for intentionally destroying safety signs, placing dangerous foods in circulation and fraud with food products.

Also, the institution has shown a high willingness to hold responsibilities within its own structures, by initiating disciplinary proceedings against three DRAKU Shkodra inspectors for dereliction of duty, as the integrity of the inspection process is non-negotiable.

While we appreciate the role of the media in denouncing abusive cases, we invite all reporters to refer to official facts to avoid misinformation and unfounded panic among citizens.

The National Food Authority assures consumers that it remains fully prepared in its mission to guarantee food safety and protect public health in any case and against any entity that attempts to ignore the law.
