Guardia Civil Seizes 20 Tonnes of Unsafe Seafood at Palma Distributor

Health inspectors proposed €90,000 in penalties following the immobilization of expired, improperly refrozen stock.

Overview

  • SEPRONA agents and Balearic public-health technicians uncovered the violations during a routine April inspection of a Palma warehouse.
  • Roughly 20 tonnes of fish and seafood were being stored for distribution despite being unfit for consumption.
  • Most products were past their best-before dates, with some labeled from 2018 and 2019.
  • Investigators documented cold-chain breaches, including items thawed and later refrozen.
  • Authorities immobilized the pallets to keep them from reaching consumers and proposed two very serious infractions totaling €90,000.
