There is No Ban on Buffalo Mozzarella, Only Media Hype

(AGI) - Rome,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            March 26, 2008

"There is no ban on mozzarella from the Campana region by Asian countries, not even from North Korea", and " Japan has not stopped its importation at customs". This comes from General Saverio Cotticelli who is the head NAS of the health watchdog section of the police force. 

This news was released after a long meeting with the Minister of Health in order to address the alarm which has grown up about the presence of dioxins in the mozzarella coming from Campana. He added " the analyses have not yet been completed but will be made public soon and in accordance with the deadline".

According to the General, " there is a lot of panic which is exaggerated and which will have serious consequences on the economy of a region already under stress. It is just media hype", said Cotticelli. He also added that "everyone must remain cautious and await the results of the tests because up until now everything has been based on hypotheses and theories."
