To curb the situation, the Ministry of Commerce has embarked on a vigorous inspection campaign and it is nabbing business people involved in the sale of expired goods. Nyema Wisner, Deputy Minister of Commerce, said the Ministry is working to ensure expired goods are not on the market. He added that expired goods stock in ware houses were discovered during a routine check by the Inspector General. Minister Wisner said goods in the warehouse have been expired since 2016, adding that the merchants were re-stamping the expired products. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce fined Fuani Brothers US$25,000.00 for unilaterally hiking the price of eggs on the Liberian market.
