Bogor to check Idul Fitri gifts

BOGOR: The municipal administration will soon raid shopping
centers, kiosks and shops that sell Idul Fitri gift- and food
packages, an official said on Monday.

"The target is expired food products," Bambang Hermanto, head
of the Bogor Industry, Trade and Cooperatives Agency, was quoted
as saying by Antara news agency.

It is common practice to exchange parcels of food and
beverages -- mostly imported goods -- during the Idul Fitri
holiday season.

The raid will be held in cooperation with the health agency
and agriculture agency in a bid to protect consumers, Bambang
said. -- JP
