The health irregularities detected relate to the treatment of expired and contaminated products, which are disposed of in common garbage dumps, “putting the health of the population at risk by pouring some of them into sewage pipes,” says a preliminary report from the Prosecutor’s Office.
The company also does not have the necessary permits to carry out activities legally, “violating safety protocols in the facilities and in the handling of dangerous chemical substances (diesel, caustic soda) that are spilled in the internal parts where dairy products are made,” the report states.
