with working take away and gives dark kitchen [cozinhas que apenas vendem comida para fora]Has the Security and Economic Authority (ASAE) managed to keep control of the meals served to the consumer during the pandemic?
This period of confinement led us to some inspection and control actions to the recent phenomenon of dark kitchen. We detected a fulfillment within the global framework, without any specific or deviant reference. O take away also deserved our attention and we carried out actions with courier companies. We have revealed highlights in the social fabric. It is a screening, signaling, with a view to deepening, if there is a matter that justifies. We kept an eye on the market in global terms, but we did not detect (always, of course, situations of non-compliance) anything revealed of an ungoverned matter.

There are several complications in which we have acted through a digital impulse, or that later require a physical intervention. This happened in several goods, some even in the food area, such as wines. were detected in terms of virtual offer. Then it moved on to a phase with the printing establishments that made this type of products available.
