ALLEGED SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS LIKELY TO CAUSE INJURY TO HEALTH OR PHYSICAL HARM TO CONSUMERS AND DOES NOT MEET CONSUMER SAFETY STANDARDS BY SUNCREST CREAMERIES LTD

The Commission ordered Suncrest Creameries Limited to pay a fine of MK500, 000.00 for supplying products that do not meet product labelling standards. A surprise inspection conducted by the Commission showed that the company supplied two products – “Zuza Cordial”, and “250ml Fresh Milk” – which did not have sufficient production information such as expiry dates, certification marks from the Malawi Bureau of Standards and the manufacturer’s physical address. Further, the labelling on the fresh milk was not legible. This was an infringement of Section 43 of the CFTA and Section 35(3) of the CPA.
