At the instruction of Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan, the Trade and Services Department at the Yerevan Municipality and Food Safety Inspection Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, visited a number of catering facilities from September 2 to 19 to detect cases of selling or using expired products. Of more than 554 stores surveyed, in 34 were on sale after the expiration date. The outdated products were immediately thrown away. Also, 35 reports were drawn up according to Article 158 of the Code of Administrative Offences, says the Press Service of the Yerevan Municipality. The Municipality also registered a sharp decline in the sale of expired products in public places in the last two years which is due to regular surveys and monitoring conducted by the Trade and Services Department.
