On Saturday, February 11, in the Yaqoub al-Mansour neighborhood of Rabat, the Committee for Quality Control, Antitrust, and Price Gouging seized a significant quantity of foodstuffs totaling 11 tons and 800 kilograms, including expired items.
This intervention—which consists of a range of food items, including flour, legumes, dried fruits, and spices, totaling 3 tons—is part of a proactive approach aimed at preventing the exploitation of the current situation and monopolistic practices that undermine food quality and consumer health and safety.
Hamid Al-Qastali, head of the Economic Affairs Department for the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, confirmed that the warehouse does not have a license from the relevant authorities to store food products and does not meet the technical and health requirements necessary for storing consumer goods.
He added that the warehouse is currently experiencing very high inventory levels, which could affect price stability in the market.
This intervention took place in the presence of local authorities and the National Office for Food Safety.
