The Sanitary-Epidemiological Wellbeing and Public Health Committee announces that such cases have not been recorded in our republic and the information is unfounded.
It should be noted that cases of digestive system disorders related to the consumption of melon products can occur and are caused by several factors:
- specific characteristics of the human organism;
- mixing products that should not be consumed together;
- the staleness of the melon product (having been left for a long time after being cut);
- excessive levels of nitrates and nitrites in their composition, among others.
The Sanitary-Epidemiological Committee warns! It is necessary for the public to pay attention to the following when purchasing melon products:
- buy melon products only from authorized (trade stands, market areas, shopping complexes) places;
- pay attention to whether the melon products have undergone laboratory testing during the purchasing process;
- do not forget that melon products sold on the sides of major (main) roads, in residential areas may not have undergone laboratory testing!
