Uruguay implements actions to guarantee the quality of meat products

Thus, Uruguay seeks to guarantee the quality and safety of the products offered to consumers, he explained during the commemorative act of the Day of the Butcher, on the 14th.

Mattos appreciated the work of INAC, aimed at formalizing and developing the commercial meat market in the country. In this regard, he reported that this institution implements actions to professionalize management, improve butcher shop facilities and monitor the quality and safety of products.

Likewise, he highlighted the diversification achieved by neighborhood butcher shops, many of which incorporated other items into their offer. He also referred to changes in the dynamics, since products with greater added value are offered.

One of the lines of action applied in this period is the inspection of these businesses, in order to regularize and formalize their situation. Before, these were authorized by the departmental governments, and now, in the orbit of the INAC, which, through the Yo Cumplo program, integrates a national parameter, he pointed out.

“That improves all aspects of management. Obviously, there is progress and encouragement inside (the country), even with some lines of financing”, he said.
