On the specified date, a food safety concern was identified regarding food barley originating from Chechnya. The issue pertains to the absence of an indicated sampling time, which is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of food products.

In light of this incident, it is advisable for stakeholders in the food supply chain to conduct thorough checks and ensure that all necessary information, including sampling times, is accurately documented and communicated.
