Further products with misleading or expired use by dates
02/16/2012During ordinary checks, the inspectors of the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) found further foodstuffs that were offered with incorrect or expired use by dates. The Inspection Authority banned the sale of these products. Administrative proceedings on impositions of fines will be initiated with the sellers.
CAFIA revealed the original use by dates within checks of documentation, original packagings and labels. With regard to the previous detections on mishandling with the use by dates or best before dates, CAFIA pays higher attention to inspection of goods which are sliced or split directly in shops.
Currently detected deficiencies are summed up in the table:
