ASAE seizes more than 20 thousand liters of wine for improper labeling

ASAE seized over 20 thousand liters of wine during Operation Safe Label, an action that aimed to verify compliance with labeling rules in the food sector. The operation detected non-compliance related to product labeling, which led to the initiation of administrative offense proceedings against those responsible. This action falls within the scope of ASAE's powers in the supervision of food and economic safety in Portugal, an authority that regularly carries out market control operations to ensure compliance with current legislation. Operation Safe Label demonstrates the continuous effort of Portuguese authorities to ensure that marketed products comply with all mandatory standards, especially regarding the information provided to consumers through labeling.
