A routine grocery run turned into a costly lesson for a retail giant after an Andhra Pradesh consumer commission pulled up Vishal Mega Mart for selling an expired packet of Maggi Atta Instant Noodles, which allegedly caused food poisoning to a customer.
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Andhra Pradesh, in its July 10 order, called the sale of expired food a "grave violation of consumer rights" and imposed a total penalty of Rs 2.8 lakh.
