Poor quality of bread and tampering with weight of packs | “Directorate of bread bakeries fines four bakeries in western Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: SOHR sources have reported that the “directorate of bread bakeries” of the Autonomous Administration has fined four bread bakeries in Al-Kesrah district and Hemar Al-Ali town in western Deir Ezzor over tampering with the weight of bread packs by the bakeries’ owners, as well as the poor quality of bread, although first-class flour (imported flour) is available at those bread bakeries.

 

According to SOHR sources, the authorities imposed different fines on those bakeries, where a fine of 6,000,000 SYP was imposed on the first bread bakery, and a fine of 5,000,000 SYP was imposed on the second bread bakery, while the third and fourth bakeries were fined by 600,000 SYP each.

 

On January 28, SOHR sources reported that the bread bakery of Abu Khashab town, north of Deir Ezzor, was closed by the Bread Bakeries committee of Autonomous Administration for a month due to poor bread and manipulation of the weight of the bread “tie” by the owner of the bread bakery, despite receiving the imported flour.
