How to get assurance that the advertisements site is safe?

  • The advertisement about the purchase of food products must include the name of the company involved in the food industry, preferably the registration number issued by the Food and Veterinary Service (PVD), so that the consumer can verify whether the company is registered with the Food and Veterinary Service. You can check it HERE .
  • Before making a purchase, the consumer must have access to all the information about the food product he is going to buy.
  • If food products are purchased that must be kept at an appropriate temperature during storage and transportation, such as meat products, their delivery via parcel machines is not permitted. In addition, parcel delivery companies have stated in their internal regulations that it is forbidden to send perishable food products and shipments that require a special temperature regime during delivery.
  • Also, we do not recommend buying products of animal origin that should be stored in the cold, if they are brought to the buyer in a vehicle that is not equipped with equipment to maintain the appropriate temperature.
  • Products of unknown origin pose a threat to consumer health, as they may have been produced, transported, and distributed under inappropriate hygienic conditions and at inappropriate temperatures, allowing the risk of food contamination.

Advertisements, in which violations have been found and those who posted them refuse to correct them, are being published on PVD’s website.
