Chilling discovery: horror bakery uncovered in Hungary – photos, video
The National Food Chain Safety Office uncovered a horror bakery in Tiszavasvár in appalling condition: damaged and filthy flooring, cobweb-covered, grimy walls and equipment, heaps of dirt, and incomplete documentation. The authorities immediately suspended its operations. No fines have been issued yet, so it remains unclear when the business might reopen, but the released video reveals a distressingly neglected environment.
Hundreds of kilograms of food thrown out
The National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) promptly halted the horror bakery’s activity due to the severe hygiene failings posing a significant food safety risk. Around 207 kilograms of food were removed from circulation, the authority announced to the Hungarian News Agency (MTI) on Monday.
During the inspection, Nébih officers discovered damaged and contaminated floors in several areas, along with walls and equipment stained and covered in cobwebs. Large numbers of insect carcasses were visible near the windows, and peeling paint was evident on the walls and ceilings of the production rooms.
The facility has not been permanently closed
The inspectors also found that the company had poorly maintained its production and traceability records. Nébih immediately withdrew 20 batches, totalling 207.2 kilograms, of untraceable or past-best-before-date food items from the market and placed them under official seal. Additionally, food produced before 24 September, which still had valid consumption or quality dates, was ordered to be recalled.
According to the statement, the bakery was allowed to resume operations after addressing the food safety deficiencies and passing an on-site inspection by the authority. The investigation and determination of any fines are still ongoing.
