Ismailia Governor Air Marshal Akram Mohamed Jalal has instructed the Directorate of Supply and Internal Trade to intensify inspections of bakeries, ensuring quality bread for citizens and the proper distribution of government subsidies. The Directorate, in collaboration with the Supply Police, carried out raids in Abu Suwayr, the Future City, and other areas, targeting stores, warehouses, and bakeries. The efforts resulted in the seizure of a factory repackaging 80 tons of rock salt from a well-known company under a different brand name, with altered production and expiry dates. Other violations included 1008 packages of unidentified biscuits, 400 expired chocolate bars, and 216 cartons of smuggled cigarettes. A trader was also caught illegally distributing 170 bottles of subsidized vegetable oil and 70 kilos of subsidized sugar, and stockpiling 90 kilos of free sugar. Additional violations included eight charges for unhygienic baking tools, four for lack of Arabic signage, one for failure to issue receipts, two for overcharging, one for warehouse violations, 12 for lack of health certificates, six for not displaying prices, and four charges for storing flour illegally. All seized goods were confiscated, and legal action is being taken.
