The Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court has fined a businessman operating along Old Moor Street in Colombo 12 Rs. 10,000 following a raid carried out by the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA).
The court also ordered the seizure and destruction of 19 sacks of imported turmeric chunks, each weighing 25 kilograms, with an estimated value of around Rs. 2 million. Investigations revealed that the products were being sold without legally required details identifying the importer, distributor, or supplier.
The CAA stated that the turmeric stock had been stored in breach of existing regulations and was considered unfit for human consumption at the time the ruling was delivered.
