Consumers must stick to recognized and trusted retailers, or else they will pay dearly for doing otherwise. Consumers also have to be careful about where they purchase food items.
The government entity, the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority (NCRA), which is responsible for ensuring that standards are maintained, is fast asleep. I have contacted them in the past about consumer matters, and when you hang up the phone, that is the end of the matter.
They have a fancy website, and it seems that is what the focus is on these days—fancy websites and presence on social media. While that is good, the consumer needs action.
You remember the case of the consumer finding metallic objects in the sugar he bought. Did the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority identify the batch number for the sugar, and was that batch recalled? Did they advise the consumers that it was safe to now consume the sugar? What are the findings of that investigation?
This beautiful picture was taken from the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority website. What are their achievements for the last five years?
I also bought rice with insects and wondered if the insects were peas. I am yet to hear from the NCRA about that matter.
Recently, a housewife bought some tin sardines, and she found some strange things in the sardines. Have a look at the pictures below.

There are some products that you should not consider purchasing. JPS produces 50-cycle electricity, so if you purchase 60-cycle electrical equipment, it will not be energy-efficient, and its lifespan could be short. If that equipment is damaged, JPS will more than likely not accept liability. The warranty might also be made invalid.

Do not buy the stove in the above picture because you will find in a year that some burners might not work and the temperature knobs will no longer work.

The air fryer shown above will start to deteriorate after a few months. The paint for the inside will start to strip, and the rubbers to keep the tray in place will fall out.
When you purchase things, keep your receipts and warranty documents in a safe place. Do not throw away items bought when you find strange items in them. Contact the Consumer Affairs Commission and make a report. Take a copy of your receipt and the product to them. You can also copy me on the report.
These retailers and manufacturers must be held accountable for any inferior products sold to consumers. Always retain your receipt even when you purchase a patty. If you suffer from food poisoning after purchasing a patty, for example, that receipt is your proof of purchase.
Remember to be careful when you purchase gas because the attendant might put diesel in your vehicle, which uses gas. Do not start or move the vehicle if you find out in time that diesel has been put in your gas tank. Let a recognized garage deal with the matter.
I have been asking for years that the diesel pump should not be placed near to the gas pump, but who cares?
