The us authorities did not appreciate the idea of a bakery from Massachusetts with almost 20 years history to produce the granola, made with love. Officials from the scope of sanitary surveillance, found that abstract concepts should not be in the list of ingredients of the manufactured product. However, the claim to the composition of the product according to the results of official inspections was not the only and not the main one.
A reprimand from the management of the USA on sanitary inspection behind quality of foodstuff and medicines (FDA) has received the Nashoba Brook bakery in Concord. On the label of the granola, which makes the company the word “love” was specified in the ingredients list, reports the AP.
As stated in the letter posted on the FDA website this week, “the ingredients must be listed by their common or usual name.” “Love” is not a common or usual name of an ingredient and is considered as intermediate material because it is not part of the name common or usual name of the ingredient,” explains the Minister.
According to management, is just one of the violations discovered during inspection of a bakery. It was also revealed that the company is unable to cope with the cleaning and disinfection of their equipment and equipment for baking. In the letter the FDA noted that information about the use of love as an ingredient was included in the report, but is not a major problem.
The CEO of the bakery John gates told the AP that the company will “fully cooperate” with the FDA. He also said that his company has “a contract for cleaning in the amount of 100 thousand dollars a year” and combating pests. According to him, since the report of the Ministry began to circulate in the media, the bakery has won many positive reviews from customers.
Chief Baker Nashoba Brook Stuart Witt said that the bakery has been running for almost 20 years and about the same sells granola. According to him, love was listed on the product label from the beginning. “We feel very clearly that love is a big part of what we do,” said Witt.
According to him, a big concern in the bakery invested in the production of homemade bread from sourdough. “Because it’s a long process, there are many risks of making a mistake, unless you really mean by care and love,” said Baker. At the same time, Witt acknowledged that the government has to decide whether love to remove from the label: “We don’t really like. But we’ll do it”.
Granola is the dish for Breakfast, which includes oats, nuts and honey, sometimes rice and dried fruits that is baked to crispy perfection. In the process of baking, the mixture is periodically stirred to achieve a crumbly consistency, similar to cereal.
