KUWAIT CITY: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has stepped up inspection campaigns ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, targeting markets and retail outlets to ensure compliance with consumer protection regulations.
Director of the Commercial Control and Consumer Protection Department, Faisal Al-Ansari, said inspection teams recorded several violations during recent tours, particularly at date and coffee shops, where some products were found to be underweight and lacked clear country-of-origin labeling. He added that some butcher shops were also cited for failing to display prices for customers.
Al-Ansari stressed that such violations carry fines ranging from KD 1,000 to KD 3,000 and may lead to the temporary closure of the offending establishments, reaffirming the ministry’s commitment to protecting consumers and maintaining market transparency during the Ramadan season.
