Expired Eggs Scandal Rocks Carrefour Romania
Romanian Consumer Protection Authority Head Exposes Expired Eggs at Carrefour In a recent video, Cristian Popescu Piedone, President of the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) in Romania, revealed a case of expired eggs being sold at a Carrefour supermarket. The incident took place at an unspecified Carrefour location in Romania. The video shows Piedone inspecting cartons of eggs labeled as "fresh," but upon closer examination, he finds them to be significantly past their expiration date. "Ce mincinos!" (What a liar!), exclaimed Piedone, pointing to the packaging discrepancy. He emphasized the deceptive nature of the labeling, stating that consumers are misled into believing they are buying fresh products. The video shows numerous cartons of eggs, all with the same issue. The ANPC is investigating the matter and taking appropriate action against Carrefour. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges in ensuring product safety and accurate labeling in the Romanian retail sector. The ANPC's actions underscore their commitment to protecting consumer rights and promoting fair business practices. The event serves as a reminder for consumers to always check expiration dates before purchasing.
