Kazakhstan's Agriculture Ministry addresses contention from Turkmen media concerning "improperly processed meat"
In recent news, rumours have been circulating about the export of contaminated meat from the Akmola region of Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan. However, a thorough investigation has revealed no concrete evidence to support these claims.
The Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan has issued an official statement, clarifying that the information about the supply of meat from the Akmola region, contaminated with brucellosis, to Turkmenistan is false. The Committee did not provide any new information about the previous reports, nor did they issue any new statements regarding the non-occurrence of meat supplies from Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan in 2025.
Despite extensive searches, no direct reports of imported contaminated meat from Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan in 2025 could be found. Additionally, no official response from the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee regarding such an incident was discovered.
The closest related information involves poultry meat import bans in general and shipment controls at Kazakhstan’s borders. However, these are about import controls within Kazakhstan, not exports to Turkmenistan.
The Committee emphasized that these reports are false and urged the public to rely on the official position of authorized bodies regarding the quality of meat. The Ministry of Agriculture in Kazakhstan previously stated that the information about the contaminated meat was not confirmed and was of a hearsay nature.
The "Chronicles of Turkmenistan" publication reported that contaminated meat reached children's institutions and retail networks in Turkmenistan. However, these claims could not be substantiated with concrete evidence.
It is important to note that this is not the first time concerns about the quality of meat have arisen in Kazakhstan. A few weeks ago, messages about "contaminated meat on the shelves of Astana" were circulating in Kazakhstan's messaging apps.
The Committee did not provide any new information about the alleged contaminated meat that was claimed to have originated from the Akmola region in Kazakhstan. The agency did, however, recommend relying on the official position of authorized bodies regarding the quality of meat.
In summary, based on the available data, there is no evidence of reports of contaminated meat exported from Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan or an official response from Kazakhstan's veterinary authorities concerning that matter. The public is advised to rely on official statements regarding the quality of meat.
- In the realm of health and wellness, it's crucial for consumers to relying on the official position of authorized bodies regarding the quality of meat, as emphasized by the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of Kazakhstan.
- Contrary to rumors, no direct reports of imported contaminated meat from Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan in 2025 could be found, and no official response from the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee regarding such an incident was discovered.
- Besides the falsified reports about contaminated meat from Kazakhstan, there have been concerns about the quality of meat in Kazakhstan, as evidenced by the recent messages about "contaminated meat on the shelves of Astana."
