Scandalous cutlets from a Georgian store turned out to be genuinely Belarusian. No "beaks, paws, or tails" found inside
After doubts arose on social media regarding the origin of "Paparats-kvetka" (Fern Flower) chicken cutlets, produced by, as stated, the "Dzyarzhynski" agro-industrial complex in Fanipal, as a result ofcritical reviews, journalists from the local publication fanipol.bycontactedthe enterprise itself. They confirmed that the product is indeed theirs and explained what might have caused confusion.
The enterprise confirmed that the cutlets are indeed their production, and they create the labels in Georgian themselves specifically for export supplies.
Representatives of the enterprise stated that they are already studying the situation to understand what happened in the specific case and are ready to provide an official response to the buyer. At the same time, however, they admitted that the problem might have arisen due to incorrect storage or transportation conditions already in Georgia.
Journalists also visited the agro-industrial complex's branded store themselves and examined the ingredients of "Paparats-kvetka" cutlets. The label indicated: broiler chicken meat pieces (shoulder, fillet), skin, breading, cheese, butter, spices. Mechanically deboned meat, as many commentators on social media suspected, was not present in the ingredients.
The store's saleswoman confirmed that the cutlets are minced, with distinct pieces of meat and filling. According to a regular customer who happened to be in the store at the time, the cutlets are always like that — not a completely homogeneous minced meat, but specifically pieces of meat.
Journalists also prepared the cutlets themselves at home to assess their quality. The cutlet retained its shape, was dense, with distinct fibers of chicken meat — this confirmed that the product is made from pieces of meat, not from a mass characteristic of mechanically deboned meat.
The filling was cheesy and creamy, and the taste was described as "8 out of 10 for its price category." No "beaks, paws, or tails" were found inside.
Thus, the counterfeiting version was not confirmed — original Belarusian products were indeed sold in Batumi. However, the buyer might have expected a different consistency from the cutlets and perceived the diced meat as something suspicious, which led to the story about "ground waste."
Prices in Belarus and Georgia, by the way, differ significantly: if a kilogram of cutlets costs 10 rubles 33 kopecks in a Belarusian branded store, in Georgia it costs about 20 lari, which is approximately equal to 20 Belarusian rubles. Thus, in Batumi, the product was sold almost twice as expensive.
