Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Saudi Arabia confiscates fake tea packaging

Source: MCI.

KSA's Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI) inspectors have caught illegal labourers storing counterfeit tea packets for a famous brand of tea in Al Manakh quarter, south of Riyadh.

The inspectors seized about 4,000 counterfeit empty red tea packets bearing Al Rabe`a Tea branding, in addition to machines used to print and fold the packaging. The packaging and equipment were confiscated, while those responsible have been summoned by the MCI for investigations.

MCI has implemented random inspection campaigns targeting warehouses and rest houses, and is committed to prevent fraud and practices that put the health and safety of consumers at risk.

The public may report complaints and suspicious activity through the toll free number 1900 in KSA, or through the application of a commercial notification.
