The Environmental and Health Protection Board carried out a routine check at a well-known Asian restaurant in Central Sweden. During the check, they discovered deep-frozen meat that lacked traceability.

Asian restaurants are prohibited from serving guests beef
A food that lacks traceability cannot be guaranteed to have been purchased from a supplier that is registered and approved by the Swedish Food Agency. And that means that the Environment and Health Protection Board cannot guarantee that they come from an approved place.
Therefore, the Environmental and Health Protection Board has now banned the restaurant from serving its beef, until the authority decides otherwise, according to the report that News24 took part in.

Meat without traceability is considered unfit for human consumption
According to Regulation (EC) 178/20021 article 14, points one and two, foods that are “considered to be harmful to health or unfit for human consumption” shall not be placed on the market.
And since the meat came from the previous owner and was of unclear origin, the Environmental and Health Protection Board assesses that the deficiencies are so serious that they may pose a health risk to consumers.
The decision came into force at the end of January and the Environment and Health Protection Board must have follow-up checks to ensure that the restaurant complies with the ban. If they do not comply with the decision, they risk being fined.
