The Federal Consumer Attorney’s Office warned about the marketing of ‘false’ panela cheeses or those that offer less product than they promise. These are the brands that break the rules.
Profeco detected two brands that fail to comply with what is announced on the product label, giving less quantity, quality or nutrients than what they promise.
In addition, it identified some products that decompose faster, generating the appearance of fungi and yeast due to poor sanitary management.
Panela cheese brands that contain less than they promise
The Carranco brand , whose label indicates a content of 400 grams, actually contains 9.9 grams less.
And the Zwan Premium brand contains 4.4 grams less than the 400 that the packaging promises.
Panela cheese brands that spoil quickly
The ‘Aguascalientes fresh panela cheese’ brand is one of the brands that spoils the fastest due to poor health management, along with Great Value, in its 400-gram version of “light panela cheese.”
In addition, this list also includes the Los Pioneros de la V del Mu brand , which is also an imitation of panela cheese in bulk.
