Joint inspections of large supermarket chains' warehouses begin in Bulgaria

Bulgaria's Food Safety Agency, the Consumer Protection Commission and the National Revenue Agency are starting joint inspections of warehouses belonging to large supermarket chains across the country. The news was reported by Bulgaristan Radyosu on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, at 09:48.

The inspections will check the quality and safety of food products, how prices and profit margins are formed, and whether tax legislation is followed as products move from warehouses to final consumers.

Agriculture and Food Minister Plamen Abrovski is set to take part in the first inspection. The decision followed a report, announced under Consumer Protection Commission Chair Maya Manolova, on excessive profit margins in some food prices at large chains nationwide.
