The general manager of the agency, Mr. Afolabi Solebo, in a statement said the supermarket, named, ‘Home Affairs Supermarket’ was located on 21 Ijaiye Road, Ogba, and was sealed for displaying expired chocolates and frozen foods on its shelves to be sold to consumers.
He noted that despite several public enlightenment campaigns and warnings given by LASCOPA, store managers still sell expired and hazardous products that are dangerous to human health.
The general manager said he discovered the expired items on the supermarket shelves on February 23.
