The Procon-JP agency seized over 500 kilograms of food unfit for consumption at a supermarket in the Altiplano neighborhood of João Pessoa. The inspection was triggered by a consumer's report about expired requeijão (cream cheese) found while shopping. Upon inspecting the premises, the agency discovered a range of products that did not meet the safety and quality standards mandated for food consumption, including expired cheese, contaminated milk, and spoiled seafood.

During the inspection, officials found numerous violations including expired products, moldy food items, and evidence of insect infestation within the store's premises. Such conditions not only pose significant health risks to consumers but also highlight the supermarket's failure to adhere to basic food safety regulations. The findings prompted further scrutiny of the establishment’s practices, revealing a concerning lack of oversight regarding food storage and quality control.

As a result of these infractions, the supermarket has been cited and faces potential fines along with a temporary suspension of its operating license. The establishment has ten days to respond to these citations, which underscores the importance of food safety compliance in maintaining public health standards. This incident raises awareness about consumer rights and the role of oversight agencies in monitoring food safety in Brazil.
