Additionally, violations were detected in 11 samples from 4 companies out of 459 samples taken from 74 companies inspected by the Agency's contracted firms, Bureau Veritas LLC and SGS LLC. The inspection process aims to verify the compliance of a submitted alcoholic beverage sample with its corresponding lot.
