The Royal Gendarmerie, in coordination with the competent authorities in Fqih Ben Salah, managed to seize about 25 tons of rotten red pepper inside four warehouses, which was intended for grinding and marketing in the national markets, after receiving accurate information that enabled them to seize the quantities before their distribution due to the danger they pose to the health of consumers.
The intervention took place in the presence of a mixed regional committee that oversaw the inspection and took the necessary legal measures.
The operation falls within the efforts to control the quality of food products and combat fraud, amid local calls to tighten controls on the most consumed products, especially red pepper and olive oil, and to intensify inspection campaigns to protect the health of citizens.
