a brazilian consumer defence agency said it has found past-expiration food in the hotels where national soccer teams from italy and england will stay during the world cup.
the rio de janeiro state agency said on its website late on monday that the inspections were part of an effort to enforce food safety codes ahead of next month’s tournament.
at the hotel portobello where italy will stay inspectors discovered 55 pounds (25 kilograms) of pasta shrimp salmon and margarine kept past its expiration date. inspectors there tossed another 53 pounds (24 kilograms) of food because there was no visible safe date on its label.
team england will stay at the royal tulip hotel. a search there turned up 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms) of butter parma ham and salmon too old for consumption.
both hotels have 15 days to make official explanations to the government agency. only then would any fines be levied.
