The GA-FDD must be empowered to function effectively - Stabroek News

The disclosure earlier this week that quantities of Colgate toothpaste that expired eighteen years ago were still being sold on the local market and that this scandalous circumstance was only brought to the attention of the Government Analyst–Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) through a consumer complaint, is a manifestation of just how ineffective our consumer protection mechanisms are, how completely disregarded the attendant laws have become and how low some ‘business houses’ can stoop in their quest to ‘turn a dollar.’

The article The GA-FDD must be empowered to function effectively appeared first on Stabroek News.
