CIDG raid yields bogus food products

-
Acting on consumer complaints, operatives of the Crime Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippine National Police confiscated suspected fake food products during a raid on a bargain market in Mandaluyong City.

Police said three retail establishments — Mai-Mai, Rose N Tess, and Aling Dune stores — yielded suspected fake brands of vinegar and soy sauce. Police seized the questionable items, in bottles and other packaging containers, for possible evidence in court.

The officers, led by Col. Ricardo Sto. Domingo, were armed with a search warrant issued by Judge Reynaldo Ros of Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 33.

Upon questioning, the owners of the stores promised to cooperate and provide information that would lead police to the source of the goods.

Police said the manufacture, distribution, and sale of counterfeit products violate the Intellectual Property Code (RA 8293) and could put public health and safety at risk.
