Kamanjab shops sell expired food 2018-07-10

Staff Report 2 Several shops in Kamanjab are selling expired food or in worst case scenarios they sell rotten food which could pose a health hazard to unsuspecting consumers. On a recent visit to SparSave Mor (Sentra) after being alerted by a member of the public a New Era journalist came upon products, among them soft drinks, that expired on June 26, 2018 but were being sold cheaply on special. Other products being sold way past their sell-by date included biscuits and various tinned food. Please do visit Sentra. The shop is having various products on special right now which have expired. This is nothing new as other shops are also selling such products on special, a member of the public spilt the beans. This journalist bought biscuits whose best before date was June 26, 2018 and was given a refund after he returned this commodity to SparSave Mor after a few minutes. Some of the employees revealed they have been telling the shops management not to sell expired food products but their pleas seem to have fallen on deaf ears. A supervisor of Sentra upon questioning by New Era said the shop will remove all the expired food products from its shelves. We will take them off but usually we dont sell expired goods. Its the first time, responded a woman who only identified herself as a certain Susan. Complaints from members of the public about shops selling expired or rotten food products are rife in Kamanjab but it seems businesses continue selling such products on special even on the day the product has the best before day. Thomas Mutinda, the health inspector of Khorixas warned that food products lose certain preservatives a week before they expire and this can be dangerous for consumption. Some products are not suitable for consumption a week before they expire and businesses will have to compensate family members of the deceased or even risk going to jail, he said. The public were also encouraged to report businesses which sell rotten or expired products so that the necessary action might be taken.
