This is reported by the Telegram channel of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Primorsky Territory.
A video has been widely circulated on the Internet in which a man shows two cans of canned food, two and three months old, as expired.
The author of the video says that the canned food was received at a specialized distribution point in the city of Ussuriysk, the Horizon youth center.
“Check your cans, check their expiration date,” the man urges.
– The deputy prosecutor of the city of Ussuri Anastasia Sushkova immediately went to the point of reception and distribution of humanitarian aid organized in the youth center “Horizon”. The supervisory authority will give a fundamental assessment of compliance with the requirements of the legislation on the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population and the observance of consumer rights. Based on the results of the inspections, if there are grounds, the prosecution will take a comprehensive set of response measures, the prosecution said.
Meanwhile, the Ussuriysk city district administration reacted.
– This information is not true – said the authorities of the municipality.
It appears from your report that this type of preserves was not delivered at all as humanitarian aid.
“When you see posts like this, you are ashamed to tears. Why people do this is incomprehensible. The exaggeration of the problems is beyond the comprehension of normal people,” they said at the humanitarian aid reception and distribution point. .
The district administration invited the author of the video, as well as the bloggers who spread scandalous information, to Horizon “to personally make sure that there are no expired food products there and that the flood-affected Ussuri residents receive humanitarian assistance in the quantities required”. “.
In addition, links from social networks to posts with such content will be sent to the Ussuriysk city prosecutor’s office for a response.
