THE Government Analyst- Food and Drugs Department, in collaboration with the Public Health Department and the Anna Regina Town Council in Region Two, on Thursday, seized a quantity of expired goods from several retail outlets.

During the exercise, thousands of dollars in goods, including baby foods, were seized from supermarkets, shops, stalls and wholesalers within the township.  Some of the expired items seized were on sale while the labels for others were tampered with.

The confiscated items included juices, milk, mixed vegetables, peanut butter, jello, tomato paste, corn beef and biscuits. Consumers are asked to check their labels when purchasing items at the supermarkets. Expired items pose serious health risks to users. The team will continue the campaign throughout the month at various locations.
