Foreign-labelled products on the local market

Dear Editor,
It seems the GA-FDD has now awakened from its slumber, as it is now aware of foreign-labelled cooking oil on the local market. The brands identified have been on supermarket shelves and elsewhere for a very long time; and if, as claimed, these brands were illegally imported while not in keeping with labelling requirements, how come supermarkets and other agencies were allowed to put them on their shelves and offer them for sale to the public?
Has GNBS a role in this, to ensure standards were adhered to and maintained? Would there be consequences for those establishments which offer products not in keeping with legal requirements – which products might not have been lawfully imported?

Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
