“Our role is to save lives, it is to protect the health of all consumers. We do not oversee in order to punish the merchant, but to bring educational guidelines on the importance of commercializing quality products and insurance. If any irregularity is observed, we collect the products and the owner is subject to the fine, he explained.
This care is essential to safeguard the health of the population. The seized foods were discarded at the Maceió Landfill.
