In Kransnoyarsk, a children's world was selling expired baby documents.
In Krasyonarsk, a store named "Детский мир" on Ul. 9 May got slapped with a hefty fine for selling expired kid's food. The health inspectors from Rospotrebnadzor dropped by for an unscheduled inspection, all thanks to a complaint from a dissatisfied client.
The inspection uncovered a, let's say, less-than-ideal situation. On the store's shelves, they found expired fruit puree for tots over 5 months old and oat-fruit bars for kids over 3 years, clearly past their prime. But that's not all, folks! The stove rat also detected two bags of dry formula milk for feeding babies from birth to 12 months with an expired shelf life.
Now, let's talk about the risks associated with selling expired grub, especially for the little ones. Rospotrebnadzor is moving fast to emphasize that such actions pose a threat to life and health, especially for our precious tots.
For this, OOO "ДМ" had to fork over a cool 300,000 rubles. And just in case you're wondering, yes, selling outexpired chow can have some serious repercussions.
Legally speaking, stores could face lawsuits and hefty fines for such actions. In other cases, stores have been fined around 50,000 rubles for similar infractions[2][4].
Furthermore, regulatory bodies like Rospotrebnadzor have the power to impose penalties and order the removal of expired products from shelves. They may also mandate the destruction of such products to protect consumer health[4].
Then there's the damage to reputation. Selling expired food can do a real number on a store's credibility, leading to decreased customer trust and potential sales loss.
Lastly, there's the market impact. Stores may come under increased scrutiny from consumers and regulatory bodies, which can impact their market standing and future business operations[3][4].
