WILLEMSTAD - Yesterday, the inspection team from the Ministry of Economic Development made a troubling discovery during an audit conducted at the United Sugar Trading Company in Seru Lora. Numerous items were found to have passed their best-before dates, including animal feed, sugar, and fruit juice. The Ministry of Health has been alerted to determine the appropriate penalties for this violation. As part of the protocol, once the inventory of all products is completed, the items will be transported to the landfill for proper disposal.
The inspection team, tasked with ensuring compliance with food safety regulations, uncovered the expired products during their routine check at the United Sugar Trading Company. The discovery of items past their best-before dates raises concerns about the company's adherence to quality control measures and poses potential risks to consumer health.
The Ministry of Health has been promptly notified and will assess the severity of the violation. Penalties, in the form of fines or other measures, will be determined based on the established regulations governing food safety and expiration dates.
To prevent the sale or distribution of expired products to unsuspecting consumers, the authorities will oversee the proper disposal of the items. Once the inventory process is finalized, the expired products will be taken to the designated landfill for safe and secure destruction.
