Just a few days ago the Czech Republic and Slovakia were shaken by a report about dubious Polish slaughterhouses, where sick and dying cows were slaughtered. Only rotten pieces were cut away from the meat and meat that looked fine at first glance went on sale.
It turned out that the tainted meat also ended up on the shelves of Slovak stores!
According to Agriculture Minister Miroslav Toman, approximately 300 kilograms of beef from Poland reached the Czech Republic. Consumers were urged to avoid Polish meat in shops and to ask in restaurants about the origin of the meat they want to consume. The Poles initially claimed that meat from the dubious slaughterhouses had not left the country. In the end, however, it turned out that the opposite was true and Minister Toman is furious with rage.

“It is not possible that the EU state Poland first claimed that beef from sick and dying cows did not leave the Polish market, only for it to be discovered in the following days that this is not true. They assured us several times that nothing went to other countries,” said the upset politician.
The tainted meat reached the Czech Republic specifically to Prague, Nového Bydžova, Varnsdorf and Kostelec nad Labem . In Slovakia specifically to Levice, Trenčín, Kysucké Nové Mesto, Jelšava, Čečejovce and Varín. In these places inspectors of the State Veterinary Administration began to investigate the situation; one of the consignments was sent back to Poland on January 31. According to Toman, the Poles must have known that the meat also reached the Czech Republic.
