Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) officers confiscated 40,000 kilos of expired chocolate valued at Rs. 100 million in a warehouse in Seeduwa today, when it was about to be repacked, the Internal Trade and Cooperatives Ministry said.

The warehouse owners had imported the stock from India and the Ministry said the chocolates had expired 18 months ago. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Our media still so afraid to reveal the names of the culprits. Not one news agency they all should get together on this and start reporting news with names of the culprits. via DM Android App
