Some concerned citizens in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, have urged the Federal Competition Consumers and Protection Commission to investigate supermarkets and shops allegedly selling expired products, posing health risks to consumers.
They expressed concern on the health risks associated with consuming such products, just as they accused some supermarkets of deliberately selling expired products. She added: “Some business persons leave expired products in the shops intentionally because they do not want to lose the money used in purchasing them. I urge FCCPC to go into the market and check the goods being sold. This will help.”
“Some will eat the products and it will cause damage to their bodies. The government should do something about it. I feel bad when I buy expired goods, especially when I do not know.”
