CAA Seizes Unsafe Sweets and Dates in Pettah Raid

Date:

Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) officials have seized a stock of candy, chocolates, jelly products, and dates from a shop in Pettah after finding them unsuitable for consumption.

During the raid, carried out on a tip-off, officials discovered that the sweets had been imported without proper documentation or labelling and did not display expiry dates. Some products also lacked details of origin, while others had labels deliberately removed.

“ Nobody knows what is included in these products,” officials said, warning of the potential health risks.

Packetted dates deemed unfit for consumption were also confiscated. Legal action has been initiated against the vendor, the CAA confirmed.
