Ladom, the public school breakfast drink supplier, held a press conference yesterday to press their point for demanding through a court order the presentation of the full video taken at their factory when TV journalist Nuria Piera was investigating whether their product met Ministry of Education quality standards. Ladom lawyer Jorge Luis Polanco Rodriguez says the journalist did not present all the truth and that during the interview at the company they presented evidence that whey was not used in the school breakfast drinks. Lawyer Jorge Luis Polanco Rodriguez argued that the court order did not order the confiscation, search or the public force to be exercised. The court order has been protested as coercion against investigative journalists' work. The court order literally authorized those preparing the Ladom suit to visit the offices of Lora and Piera "to obtain" the evidence they would need.
Lora and Piera argue that the report was about how a company that had 40% of school breakfast supplies was dispatching the lowest quality product of all, with approximately 30% of the Ministry of Education minimum required protein level. Ladom lawyer Polanco says the company does not dispute the veracity of the lab tests carried out by Piera that proved the company had served below standard supplies.
As a result of the reports, public school children this year have received school breakfast drinks with at least the minimum required level from all suppliers, as the first monitored random tests show. The tests were ordered by the Ministry of Education, now under a new minister.
