A complaint has been filed against Mercado Geração MG in Itapevi, Brazil, alleging severe hygiene and food safety violations. The report includes photos, videos, and audio recordings from customers and insiders suggesting the presence of rats, scorpions, and rodent feces within the establishment.

According to the allegations, packaging for products such as wheat flour, corn, and milk has been gnawed by rodents, and feces were found on shelves and near food items. Additionally, reports indicate that meat may be stored under improper sanitary conditions. The documentation also shows cats inside the market, reportedly kept on merchandise boxes to hunt rats, which necessitates investigation by sanitary authorities to determine the risk of contamination.
