A commercial establishment has been closed down by the Industry and Commerce Ministry after inspectors uncovered multiple violations, including the sale of expired products, price manipulation and breaches of consumer protection regulations.
The action is part of the ministry’s ongoing market inspection campaign aimed at ensuring businesses comply with Bahrain’s commercial laws and safeguarding consumer rights.
According to the ministry, inspectors from its Inspection Department detected several serious violations during a routine inspection.
They included the trading and sale of expired food and consumer products, a practice the ministry said poses a direct threat to public health and consumer safety.
The outlet was also found to have failed to clearly display prices on products, making it difficult for customers to know the actual cost of goods before purchasing them.
