SALES OF EXPIRED PRODUCTS IN SUPERMARKETS WERE INSPECTED

A quality control expert inspected supermarkets in Kyiv to see if they were selling expired products.
There was both black and white mold on the products – you can choose from them.
Maksym Nesmyanov, Director of the Consumers Union of Ukraine, inspected the quality of products at the Velmart store in Kyiv ‘s Borshahivka neighborhood and discovered spoiled and expired goods. This was reported in his video review .

The expert noted that the shelves contained products without Ukrainian markings.

“Caviar, 1147 UAH for 250 grams. There’s no Ukrainian translation, and we see it contains preservative E211,” he noted.
Nesmyanov found juice priced at 161 UAH for 700 ml that had expired three days before his visit. Strawberries sold in plastic bags at 231.97 UAH for 250 g contained mold. The same was true for raspberries at 268.42 UAH for 250 g. The expert noted that both black and white mold were available.

Nesmyanov specifically noted that due to the risky display of goods, a customer snagged and broke a bottle of wine.

“The supermarket is responsible for all the merchandise in the store. If they have any complaints, you can suggest calling the police. No one puts up guard rails, so merchandise gets broken every time. They can’t force you to pay,” Nesmyanov reminded.

Checking out products at Eco Market
Nesmyanov also discovered violations at the Eco Market at the South Station, which he recorded on video .

The store’s own confectionery, which remained on the shelves during the day at a 40% discount, expired at 7:00 a.m. The candies, also at a 40% discount, were three days past their expiration date.

Some products had no labeling at all, and food moths were flying around the sales area.

“They can keep a sausage roll for two days without refrigeration. I highly doubt it. Also, they say ‘packaged,’ but it should say ‘production date.’ Those are two different things. It’s as if their products are immortal,” Nesmyanov jokes.
