Health authorities in Athens have confiscated over 25 tons of spoiled meat and byproducts during routine holiday food inspections.

A total of 25,670 kilograms were seized from a non-producing business for violating storage guidelines and lacking proper labeling. This marks one of the largest food seizures by regional authorities.

"Protecting public health and consumer safety remains our top priority," said Nikos Hardalias, regional governor.
