Kairouan seizes over 11,000 expired bottled water
The control authorities in Kairouan confirmed that since July 15, 2026, more than 11,754 bottles of expired bottled water have been seized during food product inspections. Additionally, 18,564 ice cream pieces that did not meet labeling standards and were fit for consumption were also confiscated, along with 107 liters of "shhor" (a traditional fruit syrup) that were deemed unfit for use due to the presence of insects, improper storage conditions, and the use of containers not intended for food. The authorities emphasized the importance of respecting expiry dates, labeling, and storage conditions, especially for bottled water, as packaging, storage conditions, and high temperatures can impact product safety. A judicial order has been obtained to dispose of the seized expired quantities.
