There is a flash of botulism in Ukraine, more than 70 cases of illness are fixed, 9 of them were fatal. The cause of the trouble is the dried fish, where the infection was formed. The first patients with botulism were found in Kiev, then in Kherson, Vinnitsa, Sumy, Lviv and Zaporozhye regions. So, what about Luhansk region?

Journalists of Luhansk Regional TV were assured in Food Safety and Veterinary Department of the Main Department of Civil Service that infected with botulism food won’t get to Luhansk region. And after that correspondents were surprised, because Dept. representatives told that at the moment according to the legislation in ATO zone they can’t hold checks of food, which are already on the counterfeits.

Otherwise, working groups of local executive bodies to counter the emergence and spread of the incidence of botulism were created in cities and districts on the behalf of the Lugansk Regional State Administration.

Together with National Police staff, working group members, territorial units of State Procurement Service in Luhansk region the complex checks of public catering establishments, business entities and places of spontaneous trade were made.

‘Finishing the analysis State Procurement Service reported that implementers who produce fish products and no cases of botulism weren’t registered’, tells the message.
