The former president of the Cattle Ranchers Association, Cesareo Contreras says that the same milk product that is sold in supermarkets for RD$25 a liter is being sold to the Ministry of Education for the school breakfast program at RD$42. He backed the opinion of Pro Consumidor director Altagracia Paulino who said an investigation into the quality of what is being supplied and pricing should be ordered with the participation of the Ministry of Public Health and the Department for Standards and Quality Systems (Digenor).
Contreras disputes claims by some dairy product companies, saying that they were selling "milk that is not milk, and cheese that is not cheese".
