These products, worth above R24m, were found to have contravened the provisions of NRCS Act No. 5 of 2008 and the requirements of the relevant Compulsory Specifications, will be destroyed in line with the NRCS’ mandate of protecting human health and safety, environmental protection and ensuring fair trade.

The products were discovered by the NRCS inspectors while conducting market surveillance aimed at ensuring compliance with compulsory specifications and ridding the country of unsafe products.
