The Commission imposed a fine of MK2 million to Capital Oil Refining Industries Limited for supplying products which did not comply with prescribed labelling standards. This followed investigations which the Commission conducted which showed that CORI Limited branches in Ntcheu, Liwonde and Zomba were selling edible cooking oil of Kukoma, Palm Oil and Bwiti-Bwiti brands 200 litre drums and 20 litre containers which did not provide expiry dates for the product.

 

Further, the Commission also observed that the containers and the selling premises were very generally dirty and unhygienic. The Commission determined that CORI’s conduct violated section 43 (1) (e) which prohibits traders from supply products which do not comply with consumer safety standards.
