The Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire announced the doubling of controls to verify the origin of the products on the shelves in supermarkets as well as on the markets. For the occasion, Europe 1 went to Lyon where investigators from the DGCCRF stopped at Place Guichard.
Last year, 186 checks were carried out in the Rhône department. But their number will double this year, says Vanina Nicoli, secretary general of the prefecture of the Fraud Repression. The objective, brought to light by the peasants' revolt in recent days, is to better protect French agricultural products.
