The head of the Azerbaijan Food Safety Agency, Goshgar Tahmezli, has expressed serious concern over the nutrition situation in private kindergartens.
In an interview with Trend, he stated that out of 107 inspected kindergartens, 88 had violations - over 80%.
Common issues include expired products, improper storage, food adulteration, and vegetable oils being served as butter.
Sanitary and hygienic conditions were also found to be inadequate.
Tahmezli urged kindergarten directors to ensure children's healthy nutrition. Legal action will be taken against violators.
