Salmonella was found in Morozko's frozen turkey meatballs - the bacterium can cause severe poisoning, and in advanced cases lead to sepsis.
The bacterium was found in 25 grams of the product during a laboratory test in Transbaikalia. The meatballs were produced in a factory in the Leningrad region. According to EAEU standards, there should be no salmonella in such a product. Rospotrabendzor has already issued an official warning to the manufacturer.
Buyers have previously complained about the quality of the meatballs: a strange salty-sweet taste, dry mouth, extreme thirst and stomach discomfort. According to them, the product does not resemble real meat at all.
This is not the first complaint against Morozko: in April, E. coli and a 4-fold excess of bacteria in the brand's chowder pancakes, and in October only 0.13% beef was found in Caesar dumplings.
