More than 25, 000 made-in-China products are being seized in Bangkok by officers from the Consumer Protection Police Division ( CPPD), which have searched eight Chinese supermarkets.

Authorities confiscated 55 product lines, totalling 25, 823 comfort foods and ready-to-eat food products worth 1 million ringgit. The eight shops are situated in the Yaowarat and Huay Kwang districts, as well as in and around the region.

The supermarket owners were initially charged with violating section 6 ( 10 ) of the 1979 Food Act, which carries a maximum fine of 30, 000 baht. &nbsp, &nbsp,

The attacks, which were carried out jointly with the FDA officials on December 2 and 28, were a combined function with the FDA to combat shop owners who smuggled products from China ahead of the New Year’s holidays, when some people make New Year’s gift baskets, according to division chief Pol Maj Gen Withaya Sriprasertparp on Sunday. &nbsp,

According to Pol Maj Gen Withaya, the procedure was likewise a follow-up to new cases of children being hospitalized for food allergies after consuming imported meals without FDA documentation. &nbsp,
