Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Shopkeepers have until July to put labels in Portuguese on products sold in Mozambique, announced the National Inspection of Economic Activities (Inae).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year is the last in which the government will grant a tolerance until July, for traders to label food products in Portuguese,\u201d said the National Inspector of Economic Activities, Rita Freitas, quoted on Friday by Mozambican news agency AIM.<\/p>\n

Freitas was speaking during a training seminar on the legal system of labelling on the packaging of food products.<\/p>\n

All goods placed on shop shelves in Mozambique must be identified in the official language of the country, and will no longer be labelled only in foreign languages, she added.<\/p>\n

The measure aims to protect the rights of consumers, namely knowing exactly what product they are buying and its characteristics.<\/p>\n

Freitas said that goods for sale that were not identified in Portuguese would be removed from the market.<\/p>\n

Mozambique imports most of the products consumed in the country from neighbouring South Africa, an English-speaking nation.<\/p>\n
