He said the supermarket, located at F17/18 H6, Oba Elegushi International Market Ajah, Lagos, had 20 types of unregistered products labelled in a foreign language without interpretation.

“ As at the time of investigation, 20 unregistered products labelled in Chinese language without English translation were discovered in their outlets.
