KUALA LUMPUR: THE National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC) has urged consumers to check the expiry dates of goods in their Hari Raya hampers. NCCC senior manager M. Matheevani said consumers should check the items, especially during festive seasons as unscrupulous retailers and traders often clear goods that that expired or close to expiry during this time. She said the centre receives an average of 50 complaints yearly on expired products which are usually food stuff and toiletries.While the NCCC had not received complaints on expired goods being packed into hampers, she however agreed that the method could be a good way for retailers to get rid of items that are close to expiry or have expired. She said it was the store's responsibility or the packaging company's responsibility to ensure that the items wrapped were not expired or close to expiry. "There should be at least a six-month window for the products which are mostly made up of canned food as well as biscuits, chocolates and toiletries."
