Live lamb markets have opened across Romania, allowing buyers to select their lambs directly from farmers. Local authorities emphasize the need to purchase from authorized sellers to ensure health safety. The markets cater to traditional practices, particularly around Christian holidays, yet face scrutiny regarding animal welfare standards. Prices at these markets are lower than retail, significantly appealing to budget-conscious consumers. Licensed butchers and veterinary inspections are mandated to maintain compliance with health regulations, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve food safety in Romania amid historical practices.
Florin Capățână, Director General of the National Sanitary and Veterinary Authority for Food Safety, warns that buying from unauthorized sellers can involve serious health risks.
Adrian Dinu, a representative from Craiova's public market, emphasizes the importance of licensed butchers and veterinary checks in ensuring the health and safety of the meat sold.
