Loreto Seizes Toilet-Paper ‘Milanesas’ at Festival, Bans Vendor

The episode follows a similar August seizure in Monte Quemado, prompting prosecutor oversight and tighter sanitary controls.

Overview

  • Bromatology inspectors raided the Carro Trico stall during Loreto’s patronal festival after complaints about odd taste and texture, seizing nine packages ready for sale.
  • Tests found the supposed milanesas were fabricated from pressed toilet paper and cardboard coated with egg and breadcrumbs.
  • Municipal Judge Nelson Coronel ordered the merchandise destroyed, the cart evicted from the fair, and the vendor barred from operating in Loreto.
  • The municipality referred the case to prosecutor Eugenia Calligaris for judicial follow-up, with authorities pledging ongoing, rigorous inspections.
  • Officials cited an August case in Monte Quemado where more than 20 kilos of paper-made milanesas were confiscated, underscoring broader risks at unregulated festival stalls.
