Local sources have reported that the regional authorities in Taza have intensified monitoring operations through specialized committees to ensure the supply of local markets with food products and control their quality. This initiative comes in response to the increased demand for various goods during the holy month of Ramadan.
According to the same sources, the regional mixed committee and local committees, under the supervision of the regional authority, have conducted a total of 65 inspection operations since the beginning of Ramadan preparations. These were distributed as follows: 28 operations in urban areas, 24 in rural areas, and 13 in weekly markets. The specialized committees also visited 1,261 points of sale, including 702 in urban areas (55.7%), 236 in rural areas (18.7%), and 323 within markets (26.6%).
These operations resulted in 78 violation reports, which were referred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The violations mainly included failure to inform consumers (32 cases), lack of invoices (2 cases), and possession of banned plastic bags (45 cases). Additionally, the monitoring operations led to the seizure and destruction of over 1,200 kg of unfit food products, including 522.5 kg of meat and fish (43%), 24% of soft drinks and juices, and 11% of milk and dairy products. Authorities also seized 103.8 kg of illegal plastic bags.
In a related context, sources indicated that the national hotline 5757, designated for consumer protection complaints, received a total of 38 calls since its activation on February 27, 2025. Among them, 24 calls were related to consumer protection, 9 were unrelated to the field, and 5 were non-serious. All valid complaints were handled through field investigations conducted by the specialized committees.
