Brazilian consumer protection enforcement operations

Overview

Consumer protection agencies in Brazil have conducted inspections to enforce the Consumer Defense Code across different regions.

In Cuiabá, the municipal agency Procon launched the ‘Check-list’ operation, inspecting 25 retail outlets. The operation uncovered several violations, including the sale of expired perishable goods, missing price tags, and expired sanitary permits. Officials seized approximately 20 expired items from one food shop and provided guidance to offending businesses to ensure consumer safety.

In Goiânia, Procon conducted inspections that revealed price discrepancies at a commercial establishment in the Jardim Goiás neighborhood. Inspectors found instances where checkout totals exceeded advertised shelf prices for various products, such as chips, chicken, and condensed milk. The establishment faces an administrative process to address these inaccuracies.
