'Made in Italy' products threatened by mozzarella crisis

Over the past few days, the Italian authorities have revealed that several dozens of buffalo farms surpass the authorized level of dioxin in milk used for mozzarella cheese. South Korea and Japan have reacted by temporarily blocking imports of buffalo mozzarella and Brussels has threatened to decree an embargo if the Italian authorities fail to provide detailed information. Marcello Sorgi fears for the Italian economy. "With the Alitalia crisis, the crisis hitting the exportation of this delicious cheese has suddenly become a real emergency. It risks repercussions on an already ailing Italian economy. How can this have happened in a country that, not so long ago, was classified the sixth most innovative and developing country in the world? … It is likely that this crisis will lead to drop in all exportation of national food, if not of all things 'made in Italy'."
