Buyers beware

[NewsWhore]

Consumers should be on the lookout next time they try to buy products at a reduced price. Listin Diario is reporting that imported canned foods that have passed their expiry date are being sold in the DR and are re-labeled with new expiry dates for sale to the public at reduced rates. Also, Listin writes that the canned goods are sold with labels in French, Italian, English and Arabic, in violation of Dominican law. The law states that any product sold to the public must be labeled in Spanish and if the original label is not in Spanish it should have a complementary label. Listin writes that products like canned corn, beans, soap, chickpeas and other products are sold at two-for-one deals in city supermarkets because they have expired or are about to expire.
