/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The problem of shelf-life is a very topical issue
because of the summer season, Abgar Eghoyan , head of the "Protection
of Consumer Rights" ngo told a press conference in Yerevan today.

According to him, their organization regularly monitors supermarkets
checking availability of expired food products on the shelves. Fines
imposed on the supermarkets, in the case of availability of expired
goods, are not effective, because they are miserable.

As an additional means Abgar Eghoyan suggests to publicize the names
of supermarkets, selling expired goods.

According to him, this method is more efficient, because a supermarket
will lose its image and customers, which will lead to huge losses.
