The Sanitary Surveillance Imposes Partial Interdiction of a Grupo Mateus Supermarket in São Luís After Identifying Serious Irregularities, Reinforcing Oversight at Grupo Mateus Units in the City.
The inspection of supermarkets in São Luís has become increasingly stringent, and Grupo Mateus has become the target of action by the Sanitary Surveillance and Procon/MA. Last Friday (07), a Grupo Mateus unit in São Luís, located in the João Paulo neighborhood, was fined after various sanitary violations were found, including the presence of a decomposing rat inside the establishment. The seriousness of the situation led to the partial interdiction of the supermarket, which now has a determined timeframe to resolve the issues before it can fully resume its activities.
Serious Irregularities: Find Out What Led to the Partial Interdiction of the Grupo Mateus Supermarket in São Luís
During the inspection conducted by the Maranhão Institute for Promotion and Defense of the Citizen and Consumer (Procon/MA), in conjunction with the Sanitary Surveillance, various violations were found that endanger consumer health. Among the problems identified at the Grupo Mateus supermarket in São Luís were the presence of accumulated trash, open packaging, excessive dirt, and remnants of food mixed with products for sale.

However, the most alarming point was the discovery of a decomposing rat inside the establishment, highlighting serious failures in hygiene and sanitary control at the site. The presence of an animal in a state of putrefaction within an environment that sells food is considered a severe infraction, as it can cause contamination and pose risks to public health.
In light of the seriousness of the situation, Procon/MA determined the interdiction of sectors 18 and 19 of the supermarket, preventing the sale of products from these sectors until all irregularities are resolved.
30-Day Deadline for Supermarket Regularization and New Inspection by the Sanitary Surveillance
After the partial interdiction, Grupo Mateus in São Luís has a 30-day deadline to rectify all identified shortcomings and ensure that the environment is suitable for selling food products. During this period, products from the interdicted sectors may not be sold to the public, unless there is a technical report issued by a qualified professional confirming that the items are fit for consumption.
The deinterdiction of the affected sectors will only occur after a new inspection by the Sanitary Surveillance and Procon, which will verify whether all corrective measures have been implemented and if the supermarket is complying with sanitary requirements.
The president of Procon/MA, Karen Barros, emphasized that inspections of supermarkets are frequent and rigorous, aiming to ensure food safety and protect consumer rights. She reiterated that any non-compliance with sanitary regulations or consumer rights may result in severe penalties for establishments.
Reincidence May Result in Fines and New Interdictions for Grupo Mateus in São Luís
If Grupo Mateus in São Luís fails to resolve all irregularities within the established deadline, further measures may be adopted, including expanding the supermarket’s interdiction and imposing fines. Non-compliance with sanitary regulations is considered a risk factor for the population and could even lead to the permanent closure of the unit, depending on the severity of the infractions.
Moreover, recurrence of sanitary issues may harm the company’s reputation, distancing consumers concerned about the quality and safety of the products sold. Grupo Mateus, one of the largest retailers in Brazil, must ensure that all its units meet the required sanitary standards to avoid new sanctions.
How to Report Sanitary Irregularities in Supermarkets in São Luís?
The population plays a fundamental role in monitoring and combating sanitary irregularities in supermarkets. The Procon/MA advises that any consumer witnessing inadequate conditions in commercial establishments should formalize a complaint through official channels.
Complaints can be made through the official Procon Maranhão website (www.procon.ma.gov.br) or via the Viva Procon app, available for download on mobile devices. Public collaboration is essential to ensure that all establishments comply with sanitary standards and offer safe products for consumption.
