22 tons of yellow cheese (kashkaval) past its sell-by date have been delivered to an incineration plant by the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BABH).
Laboratory tests have confirmed that the dairy product is unfit for consumption due to the advanced stages of milk fat oxidation, according to BABH's statement.
The yellow cheese is owned by the Bulgarian State Agency State Reserve and War-time Stocks which the government ordered closed in early November.
Finance Minister Simeon Djkankov explained the step with the fact that the state agency had a staff of 600 and its shutdown would save an estimated BGN 80-90 M.
Under the changes, peacetime reserves are to be transferred to the Interior Ministry and war-time stocks to the Defense Ministry and an Executive Agency for Oil and Oil Products with a total headcount of 39 is to be established at the Transport Ministry.
BABH did not disclose further details about the spoiled food.
