Inspectors found thousands of issues at Dutch slaughterhouses last year
Thousands of shortcomings were discovered during inspections of the 39 major meat and poultry slaughterhouses in the Netherlands, the Dutch food and product safety authority, NVWA, said on Monday. Some 5,700 issues were found just in the first half of 2022, with 184 fines and 217 written warnings issued during the six-month period. While still high, there was a 20 percent decrease in the number of fines and warnings combined, when compared to the last six months of 2021.
