Consumer protection agencies in Brazil have been conducting inspections of retail establishments to ensure regulatory compliance and product safety.

In Cuiabá, the Municipal Procon launched ‘Operation Checklist’ in late July 2026, targeting shopping malls. As of early September, the operation had inspected 222 stores, resulting in the seizure of approximately 926 expired items across the food, cosmetics, and pet product sectors. The initiative also focuses on verifying price displays, payment methods, and consumer information transparency.

In Rondonópolis, Procon has intensified weekly inspections of food markets. These efforts have led to the removal of expired products and items with damaged packaging. Officials have urged consumers to verify expiration dates and report irregularities to authorities.
