13 have been arrested by the police for repackaging expired products.
A facility where expired sweets, chocolates, drinks and snacks were being “reprocessed and repackaged” for sale to unsuspecting consumers in Gauteng have been raided by Ekurhuleni metro police and the SAPS .
Community safety MMC Phaladi Mmoko said the police were given a hint by the community members before the property was raided in Springs on Friday.
“In this property they are repurposing expired consumables like sweets, chocolate, soft drinks and snacks, repackaging them and reselling to the community.
“All these illegal actions are done under a very unhygienic environment,” said Mmoko.
