The Consumer Protection Department (CPD) at the Doha Municipality has charged three butcheries in Al Wakrah with selling subsidised Australian meat at higher prices.
Their modus operandi was to label the product as Arab and Syrian meat and sell it higher prices, local Arabic daily Arrayah said.
“The cheating was noticed during an inspection campaign, generally conducted during the holy month of Ramadan,” the report said.
Yousif al- Siwaidi, assistant director of the CPD, said the inspectors ensured proper labelling like the country of origin, ingredients and prices.
He said that the CPD, in co-ordination with the health monitoring section, has planned special campaigns which focused mainly on the prices and quality of food materials, in the month of Ramadan.
