The judge of the 3rd Special Civil Court of Brasilia condemned the Kraft Foods Brazil SA, known as Lacta, the payment in favor of a consumer the amount of R$ 2000 by way of moral damages for having found a larva in a bonbon. The magistrate held that the sale of spoiled food product placed in unjustifiable risk to consumer health.

Consumers said that was purchased some candy manufacturing units of the company, which were packaged properly and within the expiration date. However, after consuming some of the chocolates, found a larva on the surface of a third candy, at which felt great revulsion and insecurity, due to previous intake.

According to the magistrate, the consumer was able to prove, as the collected photographs, that chocolate had acquired larvae on the surface, which was not contested by the manufacturer, which also presented report regarding the type of insect that can cause the fact. According to the judge, the supplier is liable for defects that make the product unsuitable for consumption, which is in line with the present case, allowing the consumer to request compensation for damages. And sales in the decayed food product consumer market puts in unjustifiable risk to consumer health, vulnerando their confidence, dignity and giving rise thus to the indemnity claim for moral damages caused.
