supermarket's fraudulence with brown-white mixed sugar

Head of the All Island Canteen Owners' Association (AICOA) Asela Sampath asserts that supermarkets are engaging in fraud to cheat customers by selling brown and white sugar mixed together.

 

Therefore, the AICOA requests the Trade Minister to consider this and pay more attention to consumer goods.

 

The reason for this is the price difference between white sugar and brown sugar. The retail price of white sugar is Rs. 220 and a kilo of brown sugar is Rs. 360. By mixing brown sugar with white sugar and then selling it as brown sugar at a higher price, the supermarkets are making a profit of Rs. 140 per kilogram.

 

Asela Sampath declared that they are ready to make public awareness if supermarkets continue cheating on consumers with their products.
