translated from Spanish: There will be penalties for price increases in food and pastry in Culiacan

Sinaloa.- On May 9, 10 and 11 the measures will become stricter for all shops, especially for pastry shops, restaurants and flower shops. Miguel Angel Murillo, a delegate of the Federal Consumer Attorney’s Office, warned that they could take advantage of the situation to make the product more expensive.

Checking prices well before ordering products online is the main recommendation that Profeco gives to citizens, as well as asking if the home service contains an extra cost, and be aware that no higher charge is made without warning.” It is strictly forbidden to want to abuse or deceive people who buy an item under the pretext of home service or the pretext of taking it to your car,” the delegate said. Fines of between 160 and 300 thousand pesos will be put to business of any kind that is detected that do not respect the prices. Murillo invited all citizens to report any irregularities to the Profeco, noting that on Sunday they will be working during normal hours, and will attend to the telephones 713 0742 and 713 0745 for this reason. Likewise, Profeco will work in coordination with the city council and Civil Protection on routes to verify this type of irregularities, as well as compliance with the measures already indicated for those days. In the latter case, sanctions could go all the way to the business.
