Haiti Considers Lifting Dominican Sausage Import Ban

 Santo Domingo, Aug 1 (Prensa Latina) Haiti is considering lifting the ban on Dominican sausages after verifying food quality standards at several businesses visited here.

According to legislator Bertrand Sinal, Head of the Health Committee for the Haitian Congress, who is leading a visiting delegation here, the measure will only include the firms with formal sanitary registration.

He explained that his country decided rapidly to ban the marketing of Dominican salami in the wake of local media reports about its poor quality.

Some days ago, the Dominican Consumer protection Institute denounced the terrible production of the sausages, using excess chemical substances and even dung.

Sinal and other members of his delegation, including head of the Agricultural Committee, Johnson Dieujuste, met today with their Dominican counterparts at the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The two nations share a border through which many products circulate, benefiting both people.

Head of the Dominican Association of Industrial Business of Herrera, Wadi Cano, said recently that the defense of consumers must not lead to damages in the production sector.

He warned that the effects of the problem might be devastating to his countryĂ¢€Ă–s meat industry because Haiti and the United States are the main economic partners of the Dominican Republic.

In his opinion, the problem is very sensitive, taking into account that sausage samples with negative results belonged to informal businesses lacking certification or quality industrial processes.
