The campaigns included the areas of Toukh – the East Shubra Al-Kheima neighborhood – Qalyoub – the West Shubra Al-Kheima neighborhood, where they resulted in the issuance of 22 case reports against municipal bakeries for violations that varied between the production of bread that was underweight and did not meet the specifications, closure without a permit, and the lack of a visit record or usable scale, in addition to the low level of cleanliness and the lack of an operating menu.
11 misdemeanor reports were also issued against commercial activities for not announcing prices, in addition to two misdemeanor reports against tourist bakeries for practicing the activity without a license, not adhering to weights and prices, and using home gas cylinders in violation, as two gas cylinders were seized.
The Supply Directorate confirmed the continuation of monitoring campaigns to control markets and take legal measures against violators.
