During an inspection by the Dutch Food Product Safety Authority (NVWA) at the end of 2019, 15% of the companies inspected, which are known to have purchased sulphite in recent years, were found to be using prohibited sulphite. Previously, this percentage was 50%. According to these figures, the use of sulphite in meat seems to be decreasing.
A total of 46 companies were inspected and 7 companies were found to use sulphite in minced meat and similar products. Of the 13 companies fined in 2018, 2 were still using sulphite. Of the 19 farms fined in spring 2019, 1 still uses sulphite.
During the inspection, inspectors saw that means other than sulphite were sometimes used to colour the meat red. However, colouring meat and meat preparations is not permitted.
