Egypt Bakery Weight and Price Manipulations
The program "What's Happening in Egypt" monitored violations related to the weights and prices of tourist bread in Cairo and Giza governorates. It was found that some bakeries sell loaves weighing less than the specified amounts and at prices exceeding the maximum allowed, with differences reaching up to approximately 50 piastres per loaf. The Ministry of Supply's directives specify the selling price of tourist bread at 2 Egyptian pounds for an 80-gram loaf, one and a half pounds for a 60-gram loaf, and one pound for a 40-gram loaf. Officials confirmed that penalties include imprisonment for up to five years and the closure of the establishment. The ministry will continue conducting regulatory campaigns to crack down on violations, support the market with additional flour to maintain stability, and call on citizens to participate in monitoring and reporting manipulations.
