Jakarta Police personnel raided a warehouse that stored expired foods on Jl. Kalianyar in Tambora, West Jakarta, on Monday.
The police alleged that the owners would sell the foods after modifying their expiry date labels.
“We have raided a warehouse and detained an individual for questioning,” West Jakarta Police criminal unit head Adj. Sr. Comr. Edy Suranta Sitepu said as reported by kompas.com.
He said the investigation into the case had started in December last year when he found some employees had been falsifying the expiry date labels.
Among the foods confiscated included mayonnaise and children's foods, he said.
“We have yet to question the suspect to discover where the foods would've been distributed,” Edy said.
The perpetrator, who is also the owner of the warehouse, has been charged with violating laws on consumer protection. (fac)
