The State Trading Organisation (STO) has warned customers of spoiled flour and urged to avoid use of flour that contains any impurities.
The state-owned company said in a statement yesterday that customers have lodged complaints about recently sold flour sacks.
“Therefore, arrangements have been made at STO Staple Foods and Regional Sales Shops for the exchange of flour sacks of batch number 2015348, noticed to have problems.” the statement read.
The STO is the largest importer and wholesale trader of staple foods, including flour, rice and sugar. The company sells foodstuff at a maximum price set by the government to ensure staple food prices are controlled.
