Santo Domingo.- Consumer protection agency (Pro Consumidor) director Altagracia Paulino on Monday revealed she has yet to receive the results of the Health Ministry’s study on the more than 100 sausage makers, in the wake of the scandal popularly called “fecal salami,” referring to the types of bacteria detected in several samples.
She said her agency only participated in the first phase of the process, during which sausage samples collected nationwide. "We haven’t been shown the results of these reports at all. I reiterate, we only participated in collecting the samples. "
Paulino, quoted by eldia.com.do, said when she requested the results from the Pan American Health Organization -one of the organizations which took part in the study- she was told that Public Health Ministry official Maria Villa de Pina would provide them.
“That was two months ago,” said Paulino, who broke the scandal on the potentially harmful salami.
