As from April 4, to be able to sell eggs, bee honey, dairy and other products obtained from animals they keep at home, the citizens will need to obtain only a health record book that is issued free by the National Food Safety Agency (NFSA), IPN reports.
The owners are obliged to make sure the animals are identified and registered in accordance with the legal norms. “If necessary, the animals should be treated with veterinary medicines purchased based on veterinary prescription that is issued by the veterinarian of the sanitary-veterinary district or another authorized veterinarian. They should take all the measures to avoid infection risks and should inform the veterinarian of the local food safety district/division when they ascertain that the products of animal origin intended for sale pose a risk to the health of humans or animals,” noted the NFSA.
The producers are also obliged to wear required clothing to ensure hygiene and to have a valid health record book on them to show that they do not suffer from diseases that can be spread through food.
