How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.
Irregular products were found in industries and supermarkets
The teams operated in Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Goiás, Paraná, Espírito Santo, and the Federal District. The inspection reached coffee industry sectors and also supermarkets, where Procons sought to remove items with signs of adulteration from circulation.
Of the seized volume, 5,944 kilos were roasted and ground coffee. Another 76,070 kilos corresponded to raw materials used in coffee production. The operation integrated inspection actions of plant-origin products conducted by Mapa and routine inspections.
Inspection targets harm to consumers and the sector
The removal of irregular products from the market seeks to protect consumers from items with signs of adulteration. The action also targets damage to the competitiveness and credibility of the productive sector, as non-compliant goods can affect companies that adhere to legal standards.
The involved agencies emphasize that the seized material does not represent the coffee produced in Brazil, which is recognized nationally and internationally for its quality. The distinction is important to separate regular production from the suspicious batches found during the operation.
Monitoring and reports aided the operation
The action resulted from market monitoring and had technical support and information from the Brazilian Coffee Industry Association. Reports registered on the Fala.BR platform also helped guide the inspection.
