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.
