Despite the frequent actions of organs of consumer protection and health monitoring, supermarkets insist on committing irregularities, putting at risk the health of customers in Greater Victoria. Moreover, the State Procon warns: products with expiration date on the losing end of year holidays are always found on the shelves of establishments in January.
The alert is the supervisory manager Denise Izaíta. In an interview on the afternoon of Monday (26), the program Cotidiano CBN, CBN Radio in Victoria, she reported that over 90% of the shares of monitoring last year resulted in case of violation.
"We realized that in January the supermarkets usually put on the shelves products with expiration date expired in December. After the period of year-end holidays, when consumption decreases, the sites pose many products on offer. Traders get around the customers with the supply of products totally unsuitable, completely harmful to health, "he said.
Last week the manager of the supermarket Epa in Laranjeiras, Sierra, was arrested after a surveillance have caught pieces of chicken with the date rescheduled. The manager was directed to go to the Consumer Protection and released by payment of bail. He will respond to the case in freedom.
In 2008, the State Procon conducted 115 inspections in the retail trade of food. In all, 106 were of infringement proceedings which resulted in 60 fines, ranging from R $ 2.5 thousand to R $ 130 mil. The excuse for many irregularities is always the same, according to manager of Procon.
"The reason they have more is impossible to verify the conditions and control of thousands of items in the establishment. It is the most common excuse. What we do not understand is, it is so difficult to monitor it all, as an approach to Procon and Health Surveillance, for example, to find so many irregularities in so little time? Since these actions do not last more than an hour, "said Denise.
The superintendent of the Association of Supermarkets Capixaba (Acaps), Hélio Schneider, regretted the occurrence recorded in the Sierra, last Friday (23) and statistical surveys of Procon State. Schneider says that there is no defense for the practice of irregularities prejudicial to the health of consumers.
"There are many difficulties, due to the volume of items sold in supermarkets, but sometimes there is no justification for the practice of such acts. We know the problems, work with officials, with human beings, unfortunately we are at the mercy of the wrong act for someone, But there are cases indefensible. Since the end of all the most affected is the establishment because it will lose credibility in your product, "reflected.
According to the superintendent, entrepreneurs and managers of networks of supermarkets are guided through lectures and courses of the entity to avoid any mishap resulting in injury to the health of consumers.
