CCP issues notice to Kitchen Stone Foods

ISLAMABAD: The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice to Kitchen Stone Foods for prima facie violation of Section 10 of the Competition Act 2010 by running a deceptive marketing campaign for its frozen food products.

The action was taken on formal complaints received from Seasons Foods (Pvt) Limited and Quick Food Industries (Pvt) Limited alleging that Kitchen Stone was deceiving consumers by claiming its products were “100 per cent non-processed food”.

On the recommendations of the inquiry report, the CCP directed Kitchen Stone Foods to appear before the commission on Aug 31.—Staff Reporter
