Flour company is checked to avoid increases or shortages in its products

The President of the Defensoría del Consumidor, Ricardo Salazar, visited the facilities of Molinos de El Salvador S.A. de C.V. (MOLSA), to learn in detail about the supply of flour as an importer, manufacturer and distributor.

During the verification, the Defensoría del Consumidor, verified the existence of flours: strong (for French bread), semi-strong (for pizzas) and soft (to make cakes). As part of this inspection, in addition to checking the existence of flours, a requirement will also be left to know the whole issue of MOLSA's inventory.

In this process, the Defensoría del Consumidor, was able to verify the inventory, determine import costs and sales prices to the final consumer. The head of the Defensoría del Consumidor, said that they have paid attention to this crisis of high prices and inputs such as wheat flour.

Likewise, he said that they are working to avoid any speculative effect or unjustified price increases.

In addition, he calls on the entire distribution chain to maintain price stability and if people identify a supplier that is increasing prices, report it to the 910 call center or via WhatsApp at 7844-1482.

Unjustified price increases are indicated by law as an abusive practice that can be punished with a fine of up to 500 minimum wages.
