Stomach-churning video: two tonnes of expired food found in a restaurant on Lake Balaton
According to a survey by the Nébih, the vast majority of eateries around Lake Balaton operate properly. However, more than 2 tonnes of expired food was found in a restaurant in Siófok.
Balaton restaurant inspection
According to the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih), the restaurants around Lake Balaton operate properly and take the summer season with ease. However, there was one exception, where inspectors found more than two tonnes of expired food.
One disgusting exception
“During the inspections, the most flagrant irregularity was detected in the Mustafa restaurant on Martyrs’ Road in Siófok. Here, the inspectors found spices that expired in 2019 and several ingredients that went off in 2021 and 2022,” writes Ripost.hu.
According to the report, the quantity of perished products is close to 2 tonnes. The authority has of course withdrawn these products from circulation and banned their re-importation and use.
This Hungarian restaurant will also receive a fine, but the amount is not yet determined. Watch the video below!
Hungary is the most corrupt country in European Union with Bulgaria and Romania respectively.

No waste? I see a clean kitchen, very clean in consideration of most kitchens in Hungary restaurants. The food shown is frozen, deep frozen, except for some sauces. No one shows how these were stored.
Overdated spices will not make anyone sick, they might lose their smell and taste which means more of it is needed.
Worldwide there are plenty of programs showing that the expiry date says nothing about the quality of the food.
I grew up at a time these dates did not even exist. Supermarkets around here sell diaries 6 weeks over the expiry date for the full price, and bakeries and Spar sell old pies or even with mould on it. Way worse than what was shown here.
I wonder how many customers became ill after eating this. Most likely no one since the average hygiene at home is low and people are used to chemicals and fast food.
The expiration date is made up of the food industry. Use your nose, eyes and taste before throwing away good food.
I’ve had plenty of spoiled food that was not expired according to the date printed on it.
What a waste to throw this away while so many have hardly anything to eat!
I would have gladly eaten/have it.
