I hope these operations continue to protect honest consumers and producers. It is essential to have confidence in the products we buy every day, especially food.
It is important that the authorities control the quality of the products that are sold. Seeds should always be of certain origin to avoid problems for consumers and to maintain the reputation of Made in Italy.
